Melech Rahm VeNisa Up for Reelection Today in Chicago (UPDATED)

Chicago is having its mayoral and aldermanic elections today.  Chicago's Jewish mayor, Rahm Emanuel, is up for reelection, running against 4 other candidates.  If Rahm doesn't get the majority of votes, there will be a runoff election in 6 weeks.

Being no fan of Rahm - who helped to orchestrate Oslo - being in power, I'll probably vote for Willie Wilson as a protest vote, even though I can't understand a word he says, and apparently, neither can the media.  I say that if you can't understand a word your Chicago politician says, it's already more music to my ears than listening to a foul-mouthed mayor.

In addition, in the city's 50th Ward, Jewish Alderwoman Debra Silverstein is running for reelection and is facing challenges from the large Indian community in the ward.

UPDATE:

Rahm only got 45% so he's headed for a runoff with Chuy Garcia in 6 weeks.

Debra Silverstein won with 64% of the vote.
