No, I'm not talking about Wharton, fool! I'm talking about DA MARE of Chicago, Richard M. Daley, who has decided that 22 years will be quite enough, thank you. Considering that A) his numbers were dropping like a rock, B) his wife has been battling cancer and C) he just looks mighty damn tired, I am not surprised.
So, will Rahmbo head back to the city to run for MARE? Anything to get him out of DC is fine by me, as long as he doesn't screw up one of my favorite places on Earth!

I really hope the Post is wrong
Jackson Baker alerts us to the NashvillePost.Com report (sorry, kids, subscribers only, so I'm not linking it) that Senator John Shelton Wilder (D-Mason), formerly the longest serving Lt. Governor in US history, plans to retire this week.
If this is true, we are in deep, deep, doo-doo, as Rep. Delores Gresham (R-Somerville) will be favored to win in November; she has already announced her candidacy for the District 27 seat.
This will solidify the GOP lock on the State Senate, as word from the East is that Independent Mike William of Maynardville is also looking at retirement. The combination of these events would turn a 16-16-1 Senate to an 18-15 GOP Senate, blocking ANYTHING progressive from getting through the legislature.
