He hits a fairly thoughtful note here on the African-American community seeking a single candidate:

 

But on he eve of Christmas Eve, he changed his mind, declaring that what’s really important is to a unify behind the black candidate, because Chicago needs a black mayor — not a qualified mayor, or a schools-savvy mayor, or a sensitive mayor (at least not according to what he said) but a mayor of one particular race.
A couple of days later, Rahm Emanuel’s campaign let it out that former President Bill Clinton — for whom Mr. Emanuel served as chief fundraiser and a top White House policy aide — would come here to campaign for him.
Mr. Davis and Ms. Braun could hardly contain themselves.
Mr. Clinton is trying to “thwart the legitimate political aspirations of Chicago’s black community,” Mr. Davis declared. Campaigning for Rahm would be a “gaffe, Ms. Braun said. “I think he’d be more sensitive…given the support that (the African-American) community has given him in he past.”
Heaven knows what they’ll say if President Barack Obama offers anything more about how Rahm Emanuel did a great job as chief of staff for America’s first African-American president.
Finally, after insisting he was in the race to stay, Mr. Davis pulled the plug and endorsed Ms. Braun. “In unity there is strength. In strength there is success,” he said.
Or, as Mr. Meeks not-so-subtly phrased it, “Unity is something our community desperately needs.”

But there’s another point here–these people didn’t come together in unity over the same policies.  Meeks is fairly different from the other two on social issues and education.  The guy with the most administrative success was Meeks.  Braun doesn’t support a state income tax increase which is at the core of funding the CPS.  What is it that brought these three together?

Harold Washington was a consensus candidate for a very different reason.  He made the African-American community show him they could pull together for a win and then he went out and formed a coalition with Latinos and liberals.
Braun appears to be running as a black candidate who hates the parking meter lease and has a bunch of vague policy pronouncements like:

Transportation Solutions

Support measures to DOUBLE transit ridership in Chicago

Support measures to DOUBLE bicycling usage

 

 

Really?  What is she going to do that Daley didn’t?  Other than wrought iron the man’s next obsession is with bicycles.  That doesn’t mean Chicago couldn’t improve, but there’s nothing in what she would do differently.

 

Web sites hit the high points, but compare it to Chico, Del Valle, or even Rahm.  She’s a candidate with few ideas or reasons for being Mayor other than her race.
