Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm sure this surprises no one. Of course, if history holds, he will probably end up in prison in a few years anyway, that is if the Republic still stands. The Illinois Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that former Obama administration official Rahm Emanuel can run for mayor of the nation's third-largest city.The unanimous decision almost certainly ends a three-month roller-coaster campaign to force the former White House Chief of Staff off of the ballot to replace outgoing Mayor M. Daley. It also opens the door for a first-round win on Feb. 22 by Mr. Emanuel, whose popularity has surged during the ballot dispute.In a 25-page order, the high court ruled that Mr. Emanuel is a legal resident of Chicago, overruling an appellate court that had ruled him off the ballot because he didn't qualify as a resident.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703893104576108584106577482.html?mod=djemalertNEWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
