I had heard that the other day. I think he was "encouraged" to pursue this.

LOL I live in Chicago and this is old news. LOL

He's said being mayor was his dream job. I knew when Mayor Daley said he wasn't going to run that Rahm would jump at the chance. Not surprised at all.

I think most people knew he was going too. It was his dream.

Good riddance.

I don't want him to be mayor. :( We need someone who will focus on residents now that the tourists are taken care of. :) And I don't think he is the one to do that.
