I have to admit that minus a few favorite alderman, I’m not wired into the Chicago Aldermanic races well enough to give tight discussions of the politics involved. Then again, as has been previously noted, most alderman are pretty much bobbleheads in Chicago so who the hell cares. As long as they answer the phones and fill out the work orders everyone is happy. In a couple interesting races there is some mild interest.
First, Bob Love is running in the 15th. With his connections and access to money he’ll put up a challenge.
Second, in the most humorous race of the year Benard Stone’s son is running and Stone is endorsing the other guy.
