Wednesday Open Thread: April 21st, 2010
What’s on your minds this Wednesday?
What are people talking about in your part of the country?
*******************************************************
Today, we’re finishing up our analysis of Governor Palin’s “Lifeguard Speech” in Washington, IL this last Saturday. We’re also working on the research we need for an article we want to do for Palin supporters on how we can take the word “polarizing” away from the media, so they can’t use it as a weapon against women like Palin any longer. We’ve said before that Palin is a lot like Buffy the Vampire Slayer in many ways — she’s beautiful, tells it like it is, has a quick, sharp wit, and is underestimated constantly by her foes. She also has talents and strengths beyond the average person — and, frankly, seems like she was put here by destiny just when the world most needed saving.
If Palin’s Buffy, we’ll be her Xanders, and we hope the rest of you join our Scooby Gang too. And, as good Scoobies, we play the support role so the Slayer can do her thing out there…so it’s research time on all the uses of the word “polarizing” employed against Palin…so that we can think of a way to magically turn this misogynistic/sexist code word against the Left.
One suggestion from a reader is to morph it into polar-ICING. As in, Palin’s going to “polar ice” the country, and bring some of her common sense Alaskan can-do know-how to clean up the mess the Left has made of the country. You betcha.
For those of you who have no idea what the Buffy references are all about, you’ll just have to bear with us, because it’s the most awesome show that ever was (even if Robby’s sister Ann-Louise still swears, to this day, that Sarah Michelle Gellar stole the title role away from her…thus starting a never-ending blood feud between a delusional 36 year old and a Hollywood actress that’s never heard of her).

RESEARCH HELP: Usage of the word "polarizing" against female candidates
We’re embarking on a weekly project to focus on one solid, substantive essay a week on the subject of what Sarah Palin’s supporters can do to prevent the Mainstream Media (MSM), the DNC, Organizing for America, ACORN/SEIU and other things, the Race Industry, and even the RNC itself from doing to Governor Palin what all of these forces combined to do to Hillary Clinton in 2008.
We wish we had this site, and this platform and readership, back in 2006 because maybe then we could have made a difference and taken away one or two of the weapons people like Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Anderson Cooper, and others used against Hillary…and then against Palin in the 2008 campaign.
The first topic we want to tackle is the word “polarizing”.
We’ve touched on this in several posts before, but what we’d like to do is collect as many references as possible to the usage of the word “polarizing” by the MSM to attack a female candidate.
We believe this is a deliberate attack on female candidates. “Polarizing” is code word used against women, in the way Al Sharpton, Henry Gates, Jesse Jackson, and others in the Race Industry forever claim every other word is secret code for an attack on blacks.
Only, in the case of “polarizing”, it’s clear this is actually what’s going on. “She’s too polarizing to be elected”. “She’s so polarizing, she can’t possibly win”. “Polarizing this, polarizing that, that Chris Matthews sure is fat”.
With Hillary, these attacks go back 20 years.
With Palin, it’s an easier project because, to our knowledge, the first national use of “polarizing” against her occurred on or just after August 20th, 2008, when she was introduced near Dayton, Ohio as John McCain’s running mate.
We’d like to assemble a definitive and scholarly piece that documents the usage of this word, its impact on female candidates like Palin, and then suggests strategy for combating it going forward.
Then, we’d like to see moderates, conservatives, and independents keep a close eye on the media, and all reporters who use “polarizing” in their writing, and then chase after these hacks the way the Race Industry berates everyone they accuse of using racial “code words”.
The Left is in desperate need of tastes of its own medicine.
They need to become as afraid of calling a woman “polarizing” as they are about talking about watermelons, southern food, basketball, and a host of other subjects within two paragraphs of the most obscure reference to a black person.
“Polarizing” is to misogyny and sexism what “N*****” is to racism.
It’s time to shut the Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermanns down, and to take a word out of Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow’s vocabulary (which would, by our best count, leave approximately twelve words, combined, at their disposal. With one of them being “duh”).
Here’s a way you can help Governor Palin, and any woman running for office, really. The more data we get, the more instances of the use of “polarizing”, the better our article can be, with hopefully charts and graphs to illustrate this coordinated attack on women from the MSM.
Time to turn the tables on these punks.
Can you help us do the legwork?
What was Kal Penn doing at Dupont Circle after midnight?
This is one of those things that’s just interesting to us, because of who we are and where we live.
It’s neither here nor there, but Kal Penn, who strangely was lifted from Hollywood and given a prominent position in the Obama Administration (where his chief responsibility seems to have been working to illegally use the National Endowment for the Arts to create Obama-praising, Baathist grade propaganda “artworks”), was apparently robbed at gunpoint at Dupont Circle after midnight the other night.
That would be like us reading a story about a guy being robbed at gunpoint, in Chicago, at the corner of Roscoe and Halsted after midnight one night.
What was that guy doing there?
Not scoping hot chicks and chasing skirts, that’s for damn sure.
Dupont Circle is the DC equivalent of Boystown.
Now, all of us are bound to be at Roscoe and Halsted after midnight on many a given night. When in DC, we’re also at Dupont Circle after midnight, and we’re not scoping hot chicks or chasing skirts. If that fact surprises you, then welcome back from your coma, the world missed you. But there’s a lot to catch up on.
It’s just really, really strange Penn was ever picked to be part of this administration. Why him? He had no skills. He’s not even a famous actor, like a George Clooney or a Brad Pitt. Now, Reagan made Shirley Temple and some old western stars ambassadors, because he had a personal relationship with them…and, actually, they were some of our best diplomats ever, because their acting skills and experience with the press and public made them naturals.
But, Kal Penn?
What made him qualified to be part of that NEA scheme? The whole thing is just so strange.
From what we understand, Obama personally wanted this man around in the West Wing, for whatever reason.
Just like Obama demanded his longtime “bodyman”, Reggie Love, work as his “personal aide” in his White House.
Add Rahm Emanuel, and all his untalked about exploits into this mess, and the West Wing starts to feel a lot like Eric Massa’s Congressional frat house or Barney Frank’s basement.
We never thought twice about Penn before, except to wonder why on Earth he was courted by this president…but this Dupont Circle business adds a new light to things.
Yes, straight men traverse Dupont Circle. Straight men also walk down Halsted. Late at night, middle of the day, whatever.
But, taken with everything else, it’s just, well, interesting.
******************
UPDATE: Here’s a comment we received on this post that is very interesting. Does anyone have any more information on this?
Larry Sinclair pegged Kal Penn as B.O.’s boy toy from Day One when he was brought onboard. He wrote a cute piece about it at the time.
What’s really funny is that Penn would TOTALLY be someone we’d think Obama would date. We joke about him crushing on Justin Beiber, but that’s more Rahm Emanuel’s Tiger Beat dream. Penn does feel like the kind of boy toy the current Commander-in-Chief would enjoy.
All of this will come out someday, forty or fifty years from now, the way all of these things ultimately come out.
But, it doesn’t seem like the White House or Democrats are even trying to hide this stuff anymore. Either they think they can get away with anything, or they really think the public is too stupid to ever figure it out.
But, Liberace went to his grave with millions of women still strangely lusting after him, insisting he was straight. Since Obama’s kind of the razzle dazzle Liberace of politics, we guess that’s appropriate. Miss Thang doesn’t fool us one bit.
Hilarious Tammy Bruce Murder She Wrote Reference
If you don’t read and listen to Tammy Bruce, something’s wrong with you.
Her books are really good too, and very often her site has something that really makes us laugh.
Today, it was the clever Murder She Wrote reference above…wish we’d thought of it!
It’s funny because whenever Obama goes anywhere to campaign for someone, that person suffers a precipitous loss of public support, their fundraising dries up, and their campaign descends into absolute chaos and ruin. See: Governor Corzine, would-be Governor Creigh Deeds, and Martha “push them to the ground” Coakley.
It’s like when Angela Lansbury’s Jessica Fletcher character would go visit someone, somewhere, and there’d be a murder, with her friend or relative blamed. Anyone in their right minds would not want Fletcher within a hundred miles.
Same is true for the current president.
So, we agree with the incomparable Ms. Bruce when we say YEAH! OBAMA’S CAMPAIGNING FOR BOXER IN CALIFORNIA!
Hooray!
An interesting development
After much thought on how we could best help Sarah Palin combat everything the media is trying to do to her — in particular, the use of “polarizing” as the same repetitious anti-woman code word the media leveled against Hillary Clinton for 20 years — we’ve decided to commit to a weekly article written from our perspective, as guys who worked the 2008 Clinton campaign, strategizing in great detail how Governor Palin can learn from all of our mistakes in the primaries and can thwart the attacks the DNC, MSM, and RNC intend to use to try to bring Palin down before she can win the 2012 nomination and presidency.
We’re going to partner up with the great Palin site Conservatives4Palin.com on this — in hopes we can reach a much larger audience and get Palin supporters motivated to every day work on something to take the “polarizing” code-word away from the media.
One essay a week, using our experiences from 2008 and everything we learned combating Obama in the primaries and the general election, but looking ahead to what we can do today and in the future to usurp whatever advantages the DNC and MSM believe they have going into 2012.
We’ll cross post these essays both here and on C4P, and once they start rolling, we’d like your help getting them out to an even wider Palin audience, so that what was done to Hillary is never done to another woman ever again.
We hope you’ll contribute to this effort by helping us research for these pieces, and sharing all the things you wish Palin would do as she looks ahead to 2012. Together, we think we could all become a very valuable resource for the Palinverse. We wish something like this existed for Hillary in 2006, but we can’t look backwards and can only work hard for tomorrow.
Hopefully, this week our first piece for C4P will be ready. We’re excited to take a more active role in helping the Governor and hope we can truly contribute something worthwhile to her effort to stand up for America and take back the country from the Leftists.
David "Popcorn" Kernell Trial Watch
Our friends over at Conservatives4Palin are doing an excellent job covering the latest goings on with the trial of David “Popcorn” Kernell, the Obama operative who committed all manner of fraud and other cyber crimes in an attack on Governor Sarah Palin in 2008. He’s the son of Democrat State Rep Mike “Terrible Father” Kernell, who presumably taught his son everything he knows about Alinsky Methods and Left-sanctioned criminal activity. We wonder why the people of Tennessee keep re-electing members of this family to office, but then we take a look at who’s repeatedly sent back to Congress or the statehouse here in Illinois, and realize sometimes voters are just plain dumb.
Here’s hoping the son’s trial draws unwanted attention upon the tree that bore this spoiled rotten little fruit.
He’s nicknamed “Popcorn” because that’s what he changed the Governor’s password to, after breaking into her email account. Get it? ”Popcorn”. ”Kernell”. ”Kernel”. Oh, Mike must be so proud of his little, curly, haired baby boy. We hope those comedy stylings serve him well in lockup. Maybe Big Zeke or Mr. Roofus will take a shine to this little Obot, either because he’s so funny, or because “he gots a purty mouth”.
The trial officially starts today, with jury selection, but should not get all that interesting for a while.
We went to Congressman Jim Trafficant’s trial in Cleveland a decade ago, and it was a fascinating experience, so we encourage all of you near Tennessee to find out what courthouse “Popcorn” is being tried in — and do your level best to get a visitor pass for the gallery.
When we went to Trafficant’s trial, we had to get there super early and put our names on a clipboard. Then, about 30 minutes before court was going to convene, a bailiff read off the names of people selected to sit in the courtroom and observe the trial. There was room for maybe 50 people, with the rest watching the trial in little CCTV rooms somewhere else.
We’re not sure how Popcorn’s trial will proceed, but we imagine something similar would be setup for observers. If we were closer to Tennessee, we’d go to this, just to watch the little Obot squirm, possibly looking over his shoulder the whole time waiting for his Lightbringer to ride in astride a mighty unicorn and rescue him — the way Dr. Utopia does in all his dreams, which culminate in showers of kisses and glitter.
Ironic, that, because while there might be kisses, and shanking, in Popcorn’s future, we doubt glitter’s standard federal corrections facility issue.
We plan on following developments with this case very closely, so if you can keep your eye on what’s going on, it would be a big help.
Also, if you are in Tennessee, we’d seriously love it if you really would try to attend a day of the trial and report back on it. We all know the press is ignoring this story as much as possible, so it would be wonderful if moderates, conservatives, and independents could do some citizen-journalism and report more fully on it.
We hope this Obot gets everything that’s coming to him…and would love to see Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett, and other Obama operatives on trial in the near future for all the crimes of their own (most especially those pertaining to the bribing of various officials with promises of government jobs for healthcare votes or other political favors).
****************
UPDATE: It doesn’t seem like much happened with this case today, but testimony is being made in front of jurors.
The first witness was Popcorn’s roommate, who, regrettably, does not have an oddball snack food related nickname. So, we’ll just call him Butterscotch anyway.
Butterscotch said Popcorn excitedly knocked on his door in the middle of the night and told him all about his plans to break into Palin’s email. Pretty soon, it won’t be Popcorn knocking on anyone’s door. It will be someone knocking on Popcorn’s door, in the slammer, where “door” can be a euphemism for whatever your imagination allows. Hell, “knocking”, too. If you’ve seen Oz, there’s all sorts of madlibs you could play with this.
For some reason Bristol Palin’s also going to testify against Popcorn, though we’re not clear on what she could talk about. MAYBE part of what Popcorn was up to was directed at attacking Bristol. He could have been trying to dig dirt to malign her, in which case maybe there’s something actionable there.
At any rate, we’re proud of Bristol for her fighting spirit, and for coming to the aid of her mother as she defends herself in court against one of Obama’s Tennessee operatives from 2008.
More Calls for Charlie Crist to Step Aside (so he can focus on that Facts of Life reunion special)
There are renewed and increasing calls for Florida’s orange Governor, Charlie “Mystic Tan” Crist, to step aside and stop embarrassing himself in the Republican Senate primary. As the footage above clearly shows, Crist is so low on fundraising he’s searching through the sofa cushions in the governor’s mansion, hoping to find something to save his career.
Many want him to do the sensible thing and get behind Marco Rubio. Upon hearing this, Crist was understandably titillated, until he realized people were just talking about him backing Rubio in the primary, and not taking him down to the Green Iguana “to see what happens”. It was $1 well drink night, so we forgive Crist the confusion, especially considering the fact that he’s got an awful lot on his mind these days, aside from all the stress of the primary and Senate race.
It’s been years since a Facts of Life TV reunion special. Fans of the show clamor for its return, to continue the further adventures of Blair, Jo, Natalie, and Tootie, now all grown up, under the tutelage of wise Mrs. Garrett.
Because of actress Charlotte Rae’s poor health, all future reunion specials were placed on hold, until a new Mrs. Garrett could be found.
Well, as luck would have it, Florida’s Governor is just the right shade of Mrs. Garrett orange, he loves wearing frumpy dresses, and he sure knows how to screech “TOOTIE!” at the top of his lungs when occasion calls for it.
Governor Crist, Hollywood’s calling…and for once it’s not that drag queen at the Green Iguana, “Hollywood Bouvier” wanting her curling iron back, again, that you promised to return years ago (but you keep insisting was a wedding present).
A Special Thank You to Sherril West at Five Points Washington
We just can’t stop talking about how well we were treated on Saturday when we attended the Sarah Palin speech at Five Points Washington, in Washington, IL.
The person who put this event together, and who runs Five Points, is a remarkable woman named Sherril West.
Please take a look at the website for this facility – it’s just marvelous.
This is a community center that’s already managed the impossible: building such a remarkable facility during an economic downturn, so that families in the community have something affordable and fun to do together. Under West’s leadership, they can not only put on a world-class event like the Palin speech they hosted on Saturday, but they are forward-thinking and finding ways to keep the center funded and prosperous on the road ahead.
Let that sink in for a minute, because it’s sadly a novel approach in this country today: West, and the others at Five Points, didn’t just build something without a plan for keeping it solvent and strong moving forward. They did not issue an unfunded mandate, throw a big party, then wander off to something else. They made a sharp investment in their community, honored their commitments, reached out for support and advice from others, listened to people, and crafted an informed plan to keep their project on track, and on budget, so that future generations aren’t stuck with a bill, but instead inherit a treasure.
On top of all this, Sherril West is a kind and truly wonderful woman who went out of her way to make us feel welcome on Saturday — and we’re just some guys from Chicago, who she treated like visiting dignitaries. Her kindness will truly never be forgotten. While we don’t know how we could ever help Five Points Washington in return, we guarantee West’s example of professionalism and hospitality will be remembered. The next time we’re running an event or organizing something, we’re going to use her as a role model on how to treat people. Sherril West is the new event planning gold standard in our books.
If you enjoyed our write-up of the Palin speech, we hope you know it would not have been possible without West’s help, so if you feel like doing something nice today, maybe you could send West a postcard thanking her for being so kind to us. We’ve sent a thank you card ourselves, but we’re sure she’d be delighted to receive compliments from all over the country for working so hard to put together such a great speech for Palin…and for being the driving force behind a facility as remarkable as Five Points.
Here’s the address if you’d like to drop her a thank you today:
Sherril West, President
Five Points Washington
360 N. Wilmor Road
Washington, IL 61571
********************************
PS — if you haven’t thought to do this yet, we highly recommend the next time you are anywhere near a gift shop in your home towns, to just pick up some postcards with pictures of your city on it. You can also get plain postcards, or make postcards yourself, but we have to tell you that postcards with pictures of different places on them make a big impact.
One of us here used to work on special projects for the retired CEO of a major corporation. If you like cheesecake, petrochemicals, and duct tape, among other things, then you’ve bought products made by this mega corporation here in Chicago. Doing event planning and other things for this CEO, we got to know his staff well, and the assistants always said how fun it was to get postcards in the mail from all over the world. The CEO enjoyed them, even if there was a complaint written on the back.
There’s something about getting a postcard with a picture of Helena, Montana or Cleveland, Ohio on it that makes the receiver feel connected to the sender.
It’s that little touch that makes a big psychological difference.
The CEO said those postcards made it feel like small town America was speaking directly to him, and a few lines on those cards carried more weight than a stack of plain, white, business letters.
It’s just something to keep in mind. At most places, you can get at least 4 postcards for a dollar still. So, $10 will buy you 40 cards, and that’s a nice stock to have on hand in case you want to send a nice thank you to someone who’s done a good job — like Sherril West — or if you want to bark at a Congress Critter and let them know that people all across America are keeping their eyes on them.
Just think about your own mail. All the junk that comes in. And then, there in the pile is a postcard with pictures of Washington, DC or Boston or Chicago on it…doesn’t that card stand out? Doesn’t it make you feel like you are hearing directly from that place?
Visuals are such an important thing, and setting the right tone guarantees your message gets through.
For a Congress Critter, it means making sure they listen to you.
For someone like West, it’s just a nice thought that this woman who worked so hard would receive hundreds (or, thousands, if we can dream) thank you postcards from all across the United States telling her what a good job she did and letting her know that coast to coast people are talking about what a success the Palin speech was at her community center. We bet she’d cherish those, and would probably show off the stack to all her friends and family, admiring all the lovely postcards.
It’s just a nice thing to do for a very nice person, and we think it’s kind of fun, too.
************************
PPS: Someone suggested we ask you to chime in if you send Sherril a postcard of thanks, and to write what state you are sending from. We’d love it if she got a card from all 50 states, and foreign countries too. So far, as of 12 noon CST 4/20, she’s getting some Oklahoma and Illinois cards.
What other postcards can she get in the mail thanking her for being so kind and working so hard?
RESEARCH NEEDED: How many times did Obama golf as a US Senator?
Here’s a little project we’d love your help with, as we don’t know how to get all the facts on this for ourselves.
Can you help us figure out all the times Obama is mentioned golfing when he was a US Senator?
Instead of attending the Polish president and first lady’s funeral, Dr. Utopia decided to play golf. He blamed the volcanic dust cloud currently bedeviling Europe for not attending the funeral of one of America’s staunchest allies, but we have a hard time believing Obama would have missed the funerals of Nelson Mandela, Al Sharpton, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Oprah Winfrey, Jeremiah Wright, or Jesse Jackson, no matter where in the world they were held, regardless of what volcano was erupting.
The White House was so clever in designing a circuitous and Byzantine route for the Dalai Lama to take when exiting the White House — a route that weaved him around halls and corridors to deposit him outside in the portico, with heaps of garbage. Surely, the clever little Obots behind that strategic maneuvering could have found a way to fly Air Force One to Europe, by way of maybe Athens, then another awkward, ash-cloud avoiding flight path into Warsaw.
The plane is Air Force One.
It’s designed to sustain a nuclear attack and keep on flying.
Volcanos belching in Iceland should not keep Air Force One from its mission. If that’s not true, then we need a better plane for the American president.
If Air Force One can’t fly through dust, then maybe Boeing shouldn’t be making airplanes anymore.
In our opinion, Obama just didn’t want to go to “some white people’s” funeral, so he played golf instead, kicking it Tiger Woods style. Overhyped, underperforming, media darlings gravitate towards the same activities it seems. The next time the president of one of our allies dies, maybe Obama will make a sequel to the movie Hancock instead of attending the church service honoring his life. Then he’d be kicking it Big Willy style, too.
There is nothing about this White House that is by accident. David Axelrod keeps bellowing how in control Obama is, and how micromanaging he remains. He cannot have it both ways. Either he’s to be held accountable for everything that goes on — right down to the snubs delivered to our allies in Britain, Israel, France, and now Poland — or he’s aloof and out of the loop on things like asking “Well, why the hell CAN’T Air Force One be flown to Poland…can’t that plane do everything short of time travel?”.
So, what we’d really love to see is a chart made — perhaps on a lovely green background with a big golf ball for the “O” in “Obama”. The chart would have:
* the number of times, to date, that Obama has golfed while president…with the dates if possible
* what else was going on in the world on the dates Obama was off golfing
* the number of times Obama golfed as a Senator, to see if he’s off goofing off more now, when he has more responsibilities
* the number of times George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan went golfing while president
We have no idea how to go about getting this info, and we have never seen anyone else assemble it before. We won’t hold our breathes waiting for the media to make this comparative chart, so we’ll just have to make it ourselves.
Can you help with the research, and compile the data in this thread so it can be assembled into a chart that proves just how duty-shirking and ridiculous our current president is?
Someone to watch for the future: Tom Dart for Chicago Mayor
Here’s another story about Rahm Emanuel dreaming he could become Mayor of Chicago, after Mayor Daley retires.
Folks, this will never happen. Emanuel is insane enough, and has a big enough ego, to believe he can make it happen, but it’s just not possible for the simple fact that Rahm has far too many skeletons in his closet to survive a Chicago primary, let alone a general election.
The Chicago black community will field a strong Mayoral candidate once Daley is gone, instead of the joke candidates that are regularly run against the Daley Machine. When that happens, you can count on things getting down and dirty in a Mayor’s race. No holds-barred was invented here in Chicago. The Mayor’s office is the biggest patronage prize in the state.
If Emanuel believes a black Mayoral candidate will not out him, and drag all of his former ballerina, going to movies with Secret Service agents, getting up to all sorts of mano-y-mano shenanigans in this city secrets into the headlines, he’s crazier than we already thought.
And we think Emanuel’s pretty damn nuts.
Increasingly, we believe one of two people will end up being Mayor after Daley: Sheriff Tom Dart, or State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.
Both of these people, surprisingly enough in Illinois, are decent, non-corrupt, public officials who we personally like very much. Especially Sheriff Dart — who is often like the one white-hatted, Lone Ranger-styled, goodguy gunslinger come to a town full of wild-west worthy greedy villains. We’ve liked the man for years, but really gained a lot of respect for him in how he handled the Burr Ridge Cemetery nightmare.
Dart presided over one of the absolute most horrific things to happen in Chicagoland for as long as anyone can remember — this was the crisis where it was determined Burr Ridge Cemetery had been dumping bodies into heaps behind trees and in gulleys, digging up bodies, reusing the coffins, leaving loved ones exposed to the elements and feeding them to animals. It’s worse than anything we could ever imagine.
Dart brought order to all of that chaos and somehow found a way to get things under control, against unimaginable odds. He was just the right man needed at just the right time, and if he could handle something off the charts insane like this, we can easily picture him tackling all the myriad other insane challenges facing the Mayor of a huge, mob-riddled, crime infested city like Chicago.
Dart’s just the sort to take names and crack skulls, when need be.
Mayor Daley wants current Chicago Public Schools chief Ron Huberman to succeed him. The MSM wants Rahm Emanuel to be Chicago’s Mayor, hence stories like this. The black community wants Jesse Jackson Jr., or someone else black as the next Mayor…anyone black, even if picked from the phone book, that’s all that matters.
Our first choice for the next Mayor would be Tom Dart. Our second pick is Anita Alvarez. Our third pick would be David Hoffman, the former Inspector General here in Chicago.
Daley does not seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, so who knows what will happen.
But, all of us here have the same chance of becoming Mayor as Rahm Emanuel does. No matter how much the MSM keeps trying to push this for Rahm.
