Well I never would have thought it

[Ranger99]

The voters in Chicago have put
Beetlejuice Lightfoot out on the
street.
Surprise surprise surprise

[magooch]

The one replacing her might be even worse--if that is even possible.

[gene_225]

One never knows what or who comes next. It's a case of you pays your money and takes your chances.

[Dee]

Well, there's always an upside to stuff like this. We don't have to look at her bugeyes anymore.

[Lloyd Smale]

its a victory for us. Even if the person that replaces her is more liberal (if that really is possible) they will know that if they dont at least address the REAL problem with crime that it will continue and they will be a one term mayor too. Ya they can make noise about gun control but chicago has some of the strictest laws in the country and some already fly in the face of the constitution so they cant do much but lip service in that department and while there wasting there time with it the people will see it doesnt help a thing. Matter of fact it shows not just chicago or Illinois, it shows the whole country. Plus like dees said. thats one ugly sob and i sure wont miss her dance lessons on tv

[oldandslow]

It's Chicago so I doubt much will change. At least we should see fewer images of LL. I though Michelle was bad in the looks department but LL is freakish.

Its face looks like it was hit by the full force of an EF-5 Kansas tornado. That’s over 200 MPH, ouch! That’s as bad as it gets and thats just plain ole Fuggly. And its gay also 

EF 5 tornado
In order for a tornado to receive an EF-5 rating, the NWS says the damage must be catastrophic. Winds in an EF-5 twister are greater than 200 mph.

runoff between the two that beat her. One is a white male republican, and one is a black male demo.

    I think we pretty well know where this is headed.

It still isn't going to keep Chicago from being a drugged up shooting gallery.

  Yea kinda like New York also.

I read somewhere that the registered voter rolls were forced to be cleaned up in nyc and la county ca. As there was a huge problem.

[moamonkey]

If they stop requiring I.D. and stop checking signatures, as in some states already, cleaning voter rolls won’t make any difference. They just print up ballots and scribble an indecipherable name. Doesn’t even matter that the ballots are freshly printed on copier paper from Costco.

True! What was I thinking? lol

Do not over simplify what has happened here; such a naive attitude is what the Lesbian broad had though would get her back in.

But this year’s Chicago election will be watched by Republicans intently. Crime has already emerged as a potent weapon for a G.O.P. eager to win back the suburbs and chip away at Democratic gains among urban professionals.

It has also highlighted the Democrats’ divide between a liberal left that coined the phrase “defund the police” and a resurgent center insisting the party does “back the blue.”

In New York City, a moderate Democrat, Eric Adams, harnessed the surge of violence that hit cities across the country, exacerbated by the pandemic, to win the mayoral race in 2021. A Republican-turned-Democrat, Rick Caruso, leaned on the issue of crime last year to force a runoff in the nation’s second largest city, Los Angeles, though he ultimately lost the mayoralty to the more liberal candidate, Karen Bass.

In San Francisco, Chesa Boudin, the liberal district attorney of a city once synonymous with liberalism, was recalled last year by voters infuriated by rising disorder, and similarly progressive prosecutors from Philadelphia to Chicago have become lightning rods in conservative campaigns against supposedly “woke” law enforcement. Michelle Wu, the newly elected mayor of Boston, was forced just this week to respond to criticism of her handling of violence, after Black leaders accused her of ignoring their safety.

And while the G.O.P. was disappointed with its showing in November’s congressional elections, one bright spot for Republicans came in victories in New York and California that were fueled by advertisements portraying Democratic cities as lawless. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said her Democratic Party may well have held onto control of the House in November if candidates had a better answer to Republican attacks on crime, especially in New York.

Add to that the issue of education, another sharp divide between Mr. Johnson and Mr. Vallas, and the mayor’s race in the city of broad shoulders may play out exactly as Republican presidential candidates would want. Ever since Glenn Youngkin recaptured Virginia’s governorship for his party in 2021 with an education-focused campaign, Republicans have made problems in the nation’s schools a centerpiece of their attempted national comeback, especially in the suburbs.

And that has included a pitch for more school choice, whether through charter schools or vouchers to help public school students attend private schools. Again, Mr. Vallas and Mr. Johnson represent polar opposite positions on the issue: Mr. Vallas, as Chicago’s schools chief, expanded charter schools, then virtually eliminated neighborhood public schools when he took over the New Orleans school system after Hurricane Katrina. Mr. Johnson, a former schoolteacher and teachers union leader, stands firmly against that movement.
