Chicago Mayor Daley will not seek re-election in 2011. Curious, isn't it? After all, Daley's father, Richard, was Chicago Mayor from 1955 until his death in 1976. Chicago politics are deeply rooted and inter-connected. I question the true reason for Daley's decision. My thought is that he has been 'told' to not seek re-election, thereby opening the door for Rahm Emanuel, Obama's Senior staff adviser, to run. Look what Emanuel said in April:
Emanuel told CBS‘ Charlie Rose that he would support Daley if he sought re-election, but noted that if the mayor stepped down that he would like to fill his shoes. ”I miss the contact with constituents,” he said. “I miss… running the office, that touch with people.”
Not to mention, remember the rumor a few weeks ago about Emanuel leaving his post in D.C. right before the mid term elections in November? Ahh, the timing could not be more perfect! And, just who would fill Emanuel's shoes in D.C.? Why, Obama's dearest friend, Valerie Jarrett, of course! Hey, the Dems have ruled Chicago since 1931, nothing happens by accident or unexpectedly in Chicago.
FLASHBACK*****OBAMA CONNECTION
Mr. Obama joined a small Chicago law firm in 1993, Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, that was then headed by Allison S. Davis, a politically connected man who would go on to become a partner with Mr. Rezko in real estate deals in Chicago and, much later, a large donor to the current mayor, Richard Daley, and to Governor Blagojevich and Senator Obama.
