With Obama's backing, I imagine Rahm has the best opposition researchers in politics and they found the dead girl/live boy.

The head of elections equated him serving in D.C. to a military member serving and retaining their residency.

Oh, I'm sorry, Ma'am.   I actually happened to be looking at the DrudgeReport looking for a link myself - but must have missed it.

You either have a serious chip on your shoulder or are really compensating for something God gave you by making such a bold, leaping assumption that my inquiry had anything to do with my political leanings (far right, for the record).

I'll be sure to post the link for you next time...  god forbid you get your panties in a bunch all over again with someone being <gasp> interested in the story that you're posting about.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2010/10/27/report-dart-not-running-for-mayor/  


UPDATED 10/27/10 9:21 p.m.

CHICAGO (CBS) - Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart will not be running for mayor of Chicago.

“To both run for mayor and to be mayor is not something that I’ll be doing,” Dart said at a news conference outside the Cook County Criminal Courthouse and Jail Complex Wednesday morning.

Dart had been considered one of the frontrunners to succeed Mayor Richard M. Daley. But he decided he would not run, because of the attention it would take away from his family.

“I’ve been thoroughly exploring a run for the mayor, and it’s been an exciting idea to be mayor,” Dart said. “The unfortunate thing for myself, though, is that I have found it impossible for myself to make being a mayor and a candidate compatible with being a father and a husband.”

Dart is married and has five children — the youngest 1 year old, the oldest 9.

“The timing just isn’t right right now for my family, and there’s just no other way to put it,” Dart said.


Dart told CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine that his family and personal life was the only factor that played a role in his decision not to run, not fundraising or any other factor.

“I wish I could tell you there was some other dynamic, but there really isn’t,” he said, “This is a personal one.”

Dart said he was also focused on his post as Cook County Sheriff, particularly on foreclosures. He is up for re-election for that office this coming Tuesday.

Dart said he would “never forgive” himself if he were forced to put politics ahead of his family.

“I really can no longer look at my family and say ‘You know, this is the cost of doing business kids; that you happen to have a father in public life and you’re just not going to see me and good luck with everything,’” Dart said.

Dart said his current job is “very consuming” as it is, but not nearly as consuming as campaigning for mayor and running the city would be.

“I work 10-11 hour-days here, but there’s still time for me to be with my family in an appropriate way,” he said, but, “with the issues facing the city, that wouldn’t be possible.”



Whalla.

And here I was expecting to read that the whole residency eligibility thing had been overturned by a court.

Silly me.

And he would have accidentally shot himself, twice, in the back of the head inside his car while it crashed into the lake.

The "Crook" County political machine is in full-on over drive mode. Soon they will need to switch its function to activate the dead voters.

Sounds like someone had an affair and didn't want it made public.

Any time a politician says "This isn't right for my family..." seems to mean they got caught fucking an intern/waitress/staffer/porn star/goat/.....

He also had residency in DC while he lived there - and probably voted in DC elections. How can you have residency in two US cities simultaneously? Was he also voting in Chicago elections while he lived in DC?

Big surprise. It's Chicago after all.



I guess he is lucky that he didn't "accidently" throw himself out of a 12 story building window.

I'm so surprised!

Did the opponent "drop out" of a 30-storey window?

Chicago deserves Rahm. I hope he catches some really horrid disease and slowly rots to death.

"I have found it impossible for it to be compatible between running for mayor and being a father and husband," the Cook County Sheriff said at a news conference today (which inevitably will lead to some awkward questions if he decides to run for office some day –– "I'm soooo bored with being a father and husband," etc). Dart's departure leaves Rahm Emanuel, former school board leader Gery Chico and city Clerk Miguel Del Valle left standing.

I don't believe in the Ignore function, and you are a shining example of why.

Your posts are so chock full of insane prosecution, accusation, and pure lunacy. How could I ignore something so good?

You are a true hero of the internet.

And I promise you, Calgunner, I will never ignore you.
