Chicago Politics
I'm really surprised by this...I mean, I didn't know there was a Republican Party in Cook County.

Sheeet, I didn't know there were that many Chicago Republicans to even scrape together $10,000.

Seriously, I don't think a Republican has held any office in the county for over 100 years...
Of course, the Democrats would argue that the lack of competition and complete government control is a good thing.

OMG I read this in the paper this morning.
I laughed my butt off so hard. I never heard anything so outrageous. Those republicans always come up with new sleazy ideas. Though this one I'm happy about. Daley needs to go. Think the dems can use this idea to get the other mistake (Bush) out too? |

With as many "Daley Memorials" (Milenium park, that other park that was Meigs field, etc..) that have gone up lately, I think even he is recognizing that his time is nearing an end.
...and you're right, there arent many Republicans in Chicago. If you sign the voter registration card as one (as I did) , they corral you in Lincoln Park untill you're forced to move to Naperville when you begin to breed (as I did)...

I saw the thread title "Chicago Politics", and figured it was one of those joke threads like "Military Intelligence" and Social Diseases"..
Didn't realize that there was such a thing as politics in Chicago.

I just heard this morning that Gary Skoien (mentioned in the article above) was fired from his job over this?
Where's the outrage? Where Jesse Jackson?
