Buried amidst the news of the battles with the unions in Wisconsin and Indiana were the results of the mayoral race in Chicago last night, in which Rahm Emanuel, with 86% of the precincts reported, was declared the winner with 55%, more than enough to avoid a runoff election.
His closest competitor, it turned out, was Gery Chico, who had 24% and Carol Moseley Braun tied for third with 9%. In other words, an uneventful finish to what had been largely an uneventful race, with a so-called resident of Chicago becoming the next Mayor.
Well, if there's a lesson to be had, it's this: don't watch soap operas; they're just not worth it!
