Rahm "Capt. Nice" Emanual is elected Chicago's new mayor.
Emanuel trounced all opponents with 55 percent of the vote — a margin that allowed him to avoid an April runoff. He needed more than 50 percent to win outright.
It was the city's first mayoral race in more than 60 years without an incumbent on the ballot and the first in more than two decades without Daley among the candidates. Daley and his father have led Chicago for more than 43 out of the last 56 years.
Emanuel called the victory "humbling" and said the outgoing mayor had "earned a special place in our hearts and our history."
"barry" just knew it would happen.
Those people must be complete morons electing a mayor who didn't even live there, but then again, a bunch of morons elected an illegal kenyan as president. Money talks. POWDERMAN.
