Will Rahm Emanuel Run for Chicago Mayor?
DATE: 09/07/2010 20:32:21 / MOOD: Musical
Rahm Emanuel Coach bags has never been shy about his ambition to be mayor of Chicago. He told me and a bunch of other people last year that he would run if Rich Daley decided not to seek a seventh term. After his dream of being the first Jewish speaker of the House was thwarted by his taking the job of White House chief of staff, he switched his goal to City Hall.
With Coach Handbags Daley’s decision to retire at the end of his term, the path is cleared for Emanuel to resign as chief of staff after the midterms and move his family back to Chicago. It’s not 100 percent certain that he’ll do so, but the odds favor it. Whether he wins or not is a different question. As a native Chicagoan with roots in local politics (my mother was a politician there in the 1970s and ‘80s), I’m excited to watch this one unfold. But Emanuel Coach Mart would be formidable too. He was elected to the House in 2002 with no prior experience in elective office. He had Daley’s support but it was still a bruising campaign that tested Rahm’s ability to translate his experience as a hard-charging White House aide into street-level campaigning. Chicago’s ethnic stew no longer votes exclusively along tribal lines, so his being Jewish isn’t the handicap some critics suggest.
If I had Coach Shoes to guess, I’d say he would end up backing Emanuel, as he did another loyalist, Sen. Michael Bennet, who faced a primary fight in Colorado this year. With the endorsement of Obama and Daley (whose support also can’t be taken for granted), Emanuel would be formidable.
Whatever happens, this will be a wonderful, raucous campaign for one of the best jobs in politics.
