Of Course Darth Rahm Stays On The Ballot

Look on the bright side. If he's mayor, he's stuck in Chicago. If he was DQd he'd be running for Burris' Senate seat where he would be a danger to all of us. Sorry WTR, but you guys are on your own here.

I wonder if the judges gave Rahm a receipt for the payment?

How can you be both  "Land of Lincoln" and Democratic Machine?

Because Boss Tweed stayed in NY and Michael Curley stayed in Boston .

Back when TR was getting started in NY state Politics one of the city politicians would sit in the lobby of one of the then famous hotels one day a week with an open satchel beside his chair. Any one who wanted anything would walk by and drop an envelope of cash into the satchel.
I forget the names, or party affiliation, (probably Dems since they have always been the power in NY ) but it was the origin of the term "Bag man".
