Da Mare has four, count ’em four opponents. They have a slight chance. But not much of one with modern medicine. He is younger, in better health, and monitored much better than J.
Challenger 1: Robert Floid Plump
So far, we know he filed 1100 signatures and "Plump, who calls himself the "spiritual son of Harold Washington,""
Challenger 2: Patricia McAllister
Software engineer, 11,000 signatures.
Challenger 3: Rev. Joseph McAfee
???
Challenger 4: Rev. Paul Jakes
He filed 20,000 signatures. I like to call him the uniter, not the divider. You see, he is so wildly unpopular with Chicago cops that they will vote for Daley even though they are upset about labor relations. Jakes crusades against police brutality.
Daley’s refusal to debate has not been made yet. Just remember challengers, always keep your back to a building during a snowstorm press conference.
