   I think he will be a good mayor and certainly an interesting and colorful one. He knows how things work in government and has so many contacts. I would think his experience with President Obama, who has that grassroots organizing experience and the mindset or working with others, would be good for Rahm and Chicago, too. Chicago is a great town. Wishing them well.

   I think this is great news for Illiniois and for President Obama. I honestly believe if the state was against President Obama, they would have voted against Rahm.

   I’m surprised at this news. I must have been occupied elsewhere because the last I heard about the mayoral race was that Rahm was ineligible because of residency. Obviously, I was misinformed.

   Congratulations Rahm!

     Hi Dakota, he won his legal challenge against that ridiculous ruling!
