It would have been a colassol upset, but his momentum has stalled since the first round of voting, which allowed Gov Rauner to get between himself and Garcia and getting Willie Wilson to become hesitant on his vote, which gave Emanuel time to repair some damage done with blacks.

That's why Jesse Jackson endorsement of Garcia, may have come too late.

Preclwrinkle, who thought Emanuel would win, was the only credible option.

I wonder if a few years of Garcia wouldn't have a David Dinkins type effect. Maybe Pubs should be cheering for him Tongue

Rahm Emanuel is a center right Democrat who couldn't help get Pat Quinn or a Democratic governor in office to offset the Rauner GOP budget that hurts Chicago and schools

Chuy Garcia is a progressive that will stand with the people against Rauner, I don't know why it is a good thing for you to think that it will be a good thing if Garcia wins, but the unions win.

Well so was Ed Koch, by that standard.

Very good.  Chuy Garcia is a big-government liberal who wants to spend billions on unfunded programs and says he is looking for "creative financing" to pay for them.  He is 100% in the pocket of teacher's and public employees unions and refuses to reform pensions.

Rahm Emanuel is a centrist, pro-business leader who supports school choice and is reasonable on most issues.

I hope Rahm gets the GOP/Indy/Libertarian vote, lest Chicago end up with a DeBlasio/Warren-style Dem as mayor (of course, others on this forum would favor that happening, but I digress).

Garcia is the underdog, but may overcome the odds, if a half a dozen of these aldermanic races flip, and it rests on those. If he can flip those 5 or 6 races, there is path to winning.  But, if status quo remains Emanuel wins. And we all knew that.

Yeah, all the non voters in Feb went to Emanuel, not Garcia, he hoped he would get.

Hope we get some new aldermen, but the city needs to cut cost. Reducing number of aldermen is one way.

Fioretti endorses Emanuel, citing Garcia's questionable decision to not put out his own ideas to fix the Chicago's financial problems

R.I.P. Garica.

Garcia seems like a pretty weak challenger. Rahm probably could have been beaten. Daley probably could have even come back and done it.

Garcia is done, he didnt get into core black constitutency to offset the loss of support from whites. Blacks are still supporting Rahm. He couldnt build the Harold Washington coalition.

This was probably the most interesting part of the last debate - tough series of questions about Garcia's son.  
Even Rahm thought it was inappropriate!

Ponce should be ashamed of himself and terminated from WTTW immediately, which I think he will be.

Well, the runoff is tomorrow. I'm predicting a Rahm win of 8-12 points.

Garcia winning would be a pretty great upset.

I'll take a leap and say Garcia loses by 12 points or more. Maybe he'll get a slight sympathy bump from that awful line of questions, but he's proven to be a disaster in the run-off election.

Can anyone give me a link to the results as they come in?

Just check the Chicago Tribune.
