CHICAGO KING MAYOR DALEY OR SO IT SEEMS

There are always stories of Chicago especially stories of Mayor Daley and those stories and comments reach far and wide. Daley will retain his ruling seat there is little doubt with that assertion. Dorthy Brown and Dock Walls hats have been thrown across the drawn battle line but their short on cash and are of no match for the machine money and power play in Chicago's style of politics. We see Chicago voters as holding onto lackluster concern and full of disinterest many without an understanding or familiarity of Chicago politics. Its as though the city has filled up with foreign transplants who are easily appeased with marketing glossies and glib where busted out budgets, selling off city property to the highest foreign bidder along with massive city hall corruption is of little concern. Accountability is paraphrased into "I don't recall" and corruption is a "family called friends."

Mayor Daley Has Raised 8 Times What All Other Citywide Candidates Report

14th Ward Ald. Ed Burke once again is the fundraising king of the CityCouncil. Burke, a long time council veteran, reported more than $5.8million in contributions. His opponent, his first in years, has yet to form a fundraising committee. By comparison all 12 candidates running for an open seat in the 15th Ward have a combined total of less than $250,000. Citywide candidates report $8 million, though incumbent Mayor Richard M. Daley holds the lion's share of those funds

CHICAGO – Politics is a blood sport in Chicago, where fathers teach sons to hit back and where Mayor Richard M. Daley hews ever-closer to the path trod by his famous father, one of the last big-city “bosses.”
Even as he faces an easy re-election next week, corruption scandals swirling through City Hall have dented the current mayor's seeming absolute grip on power.
