The end of an era.

Well, it turns out that Richard M. Daley is not running for re-election. My initial thought was that one of his kids is, and he's backing that kid. But apparently not.

Not gonna lie, I was shocked when I saw that he isn't running for re-election.

Rahm Emanuel said something a while ago about wanting to run when Daley stepped down. Now THAT would be interesting.

Oh yeah. Rahm Emanuel is very... bold. I sometimes feel like Chicago is a city that needs to be handled and it really feels like he could do the job.

This really surprises me, and actually makes me like him more.
