Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) was reelected Tuesday, CBS Chicago projected, beating back a challenge from Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D).
With 89 percent of the precincts in the city reporting, Emanuel was hovering around 56 percent of the vote to Garcia’s 44 percent.
The race had been pushed to a runoff in February when Emanuel, a former chief of staff to President Obama, failed to garner more than 50 percent of the vote.
“Thank you, Chicago,” Emanuel said Tuesday night, according to the Chicago Tribune. “To the Second City that voted for a second term, and a second chance.”
As the runoff approached, Emanuel portrayed himself as a seasoned leader who can handle the financial and social challenges facing Chicago. Among other arguments, his campaign said that Garcia had no plan to handle the city’s precarious finances.

should this surprise anyone, Since his sodomite pal George the khazar jew Soros controls the electronic voting machines how could he lose. this is what we have to look forward to in 2016 if they don’t stop these electronic machines from being used and the fox in the hen house counting the votes in 27 states. we have lost our minds.
We have lost more than that, Phil.
And to get our society, our liberty, and our sanity back, we’re going to have to go to war… absolute and total war.
But you already knew that.
I just like poking fun at your sarcastic bent.
Cheers,
LT
you are right LT, we have lost more then we could ever imagine, and it will never return unless we go to war, but the mentally ill dumbed down electorate being what they are, we are all doomed. so it will be a small percentage to take the bull by the horns and complete the mission, search and destroy all of them.
