He’d make the best POTUS since Truman, Sanders would.
An opinion for another thread.
Final days and Rahm’s lead in the polls widens.
Still, as the article notes, the polls do not necessarily reflect who will bother to vote.
I’ll nevertheless place my marker on a blow-out, 58 to 42.
Meanwhile this in the NYT -
Watched the Cards/Cubs last night (thank God MLB is back!) and there were lots of Chuy and “I’m with Rahm” buttons in evidence in the crowd.
Not that it has shit-all to do with the actual issues of the election, but Chuy has a much catchier design for his buttons.
The guy who counts the votes on Tuesday is in Rahm’s pocket:
Rahm is corrupt:
Rahm won’t release emails:
ABC refuses to air anti-Rahm commercial:

“Mayor Garcia” sounds good to me:
I don’t understand how anyone can’t plainly see that Rahm has no interest in Chicago other than making money for his buddies.
Pro-Garcia PAC refuses to alter ad found misleading by ABC!
Guess it’s all in how you write the headlines.
ISTM that his supporters in this thread see that plainly and have no problem with it, believing that enlightened self-interest produces public benefits, or something like that.
Some stupid paranoid conspiracy theory blog doesn’t mean than Rahm is rigging the votes.
As we head into Election Day tomorrow. I predict Rahm wins by 15-20 points and I’m hopeful it’ll be even more. Chuy’s small but very noisy group of supporters are getting on my nerves on social media.
Well, does the elections board chairman actually “count the votes”?
Oh, come on. Even if Rahm really is ahead, you know very well Chuy’s group is not “small.”
I was referring to the ones who jump all over the comments section on facebook news articles covering the race. I see the same names , with the same multi paragraph responses, often with conspiracy theories or over the top rhetoric about rising up against our oligarchic overlords and other such nonsense.
The introductory part about the guy’s friend predicting it’ll really be an eight point victory for Garcia reminded me of the “Unskew the polls!” schtick leading up to the 2012 election. With the same implication that if the election DOES go the way the polls predict, it’ll be because of fraud.
CTs are usually nonsense, but rising up against our oligarchic overlords is not.
Well, I’m sure there will be exit polls.
I don’t live in Chicago proper so I have no vote in the matter, but Garcia reminds me of Rauner in that they are both running on the same platform: “I’m not the incumbent. I can’t give too many details of what I’ll do, but trust me that I’ll do everything better when I’m in charge. Did I mention that I’m not the incumbent?”
I didn’t trust Rauner and voted against him. Friends of mine were convinced he’d be a Bloomberg-style moderate, but I was (alas!) proven correct with his Scott Walkeresque budget. :mad: As a moderate who walks the yellow line down the middle of the road like a balance beam 
I don’t trust Garcia on the same platform either.
Yeah I think Garcia really shot himself in the foot by saying that he needed to look at the money and form a plan. Other than that, I wouldn’t want to compare him to Rauner. Then again Rahm reminds me of Blagojevich, they both swear a lot and they’re both crooked.
Except for The Hair.
56 to 44 Rahm with 53% of precincts reported.
