Rahm is Mayor

Between dead fish, stabbing tables and naked finger wagging, we've heard all the stories about Rahm Emanuel. After his years as a Clinton Advisor, Congress, head of the DCCC and Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel has now been elected the next Mayor of Chicago. The third largest city in the United States, Chicago is well known throughout history for rough and tumble machine politics, with its mayor as the operator, as well as electoral shenanigans. Considering Emanuel's history of doing anything possible to get his political way, he's right at home.

Some believe Emanuel will use this opportunity as a stepping stone and those who voted for him (55%; no need for a runoff) believe he will be good for the City of Chicago. We shall see how this all plays out in the years to come.
