“(AP) – Rahm Emanuel has been elected mayor of Chicago, and he won't even need a runoff. With 86% of the precincts reporting, Emanuel was trouncing five opponents with 55% of the vote. Emanuel needed more than 50% of the vote to win outright. The other major candidates—former Chicago schools president Gery Chico (24%), former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun (9%) and City Clerk Miguel del Valle (9%)—had hoped to force a runoff, but were no match for the former White House chief of staff.” - Newser
Rahm Emanuel is the new mayor of Chi-town. I’m thinking this is an awesome thing for the windy city. Emanuel as I am sure many of you do not know, is the brass mouthed former chief of staff who is known as being pretty much the baddest mofo in politics. For those who are less politically savvy, Rahm is the brother of Ari Emanuel ( Ari being the inspiration behind Jeremy Piven’s character Ari Gould on Entourage) Anyways, Obama’s former chief of staff won without the need for a second round of voting. Watch the SNL clip below to get a taste of Rahm’s character
