"Anybody But Rahm"

CBS Chicago reports:

Look out for the race for mayor of Chicago. It’s getting tougher sooner than expected. Some heavyweights in Chicago politics seem to be ganging up on one of the candidates aiming to replace Mayor Richard M. Daley, a guy they want to knock out of the race.


They’re quiet about it, but are talking to CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine, who says it all comes down to three words: “Anybody but Rahm.”

It started in City Council where aldermen balked at electing another dominant mayor. But it’s now spread to the point where it’s leading to some unprecedented alliances.

It was an unusual gathering of Chicago’s most powerful Latino and African-American leaders at a West Side restaurant for breakfast Wednesday morning.

"It’s a group of friends just getting together to talk about our city,” said Ald. Ricardo Munoz.


Right. And when general managers meet, they don’t talk trades.

“Not a discussion to try to heal something that was bad, something that was in trouble prior to this,” said Ald. Ed Smith. “But we just thought we needed to talk about some pretty important things.”
