There's Rahm on the ballot for Emanuel after all

The Illinois Supreme Court has unanimously overturned a lower court's ruling that former Obama chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel is not a Chicago resident within the meaning of Illinois election law, and cannot run for mayor.

Emanuel has a wide lead over a field including two Hispanic candidates- former Daley chief-of-staff Gery Chico and City Clerk Miguel De Valle- and former U.S. Senator Carol Mosley Braun, an African-American. There are two minor candidates in the race.

Were I back home, I think I'd vote for either Chico or De Valle.  Certainly not Rahm, and certainly not for the lady who messed up so badly in the Senate.

But then, being on the losing side in Chicago elections is a major part of my life story.

The election is February 22.
