Carol Moseley Braun? Really? Doesn’t anyone remember that she couldn’t run her Senate office let alone the City of Chicago? When she was leaving the Recorder of Deeds office she hired several campaign workers on the way out the door. Admittedly, nothing compared to Daley, but Daley can run the city at least. And of course, the Nigerian dictators or generally no sense whatsoever, she is in the final four candidates and as a sole black candidate has a shot. Rahm appears to be Daley without the charm. Del Valle looks interesting, but doesn’t seem to be able to compete.
Leaving us Gery Chico who appears serviceable at running large organizations, is too cozy with Daley, but given the alternatives, and is quite progressive on many issues coming out for gay marriage in his 2004 run.
This is not a good field of candidates.
