Hey Rahm.
This is the lead from this morning’s Washington Post:
NEW YORK — Democratic voters here delivered a resounding rebuke to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg Tuesday, choosing from a crowded primary field his sharpest and most liberal critic as their nominee for mayor.
It was just eighteen months ago the pundits and prognosticators all had their money on New York City Council Speaker, Christine Quinn. A Bloomberg mini-me.
Are you listening Rahm?
Reported the WaPo:
“The mayor,” de Blasio said Tuesday, “has been increasingly unwilling to address inequality in this city and that this is the central issue of our times.”
Which mayor?
Oh. Bloomberg.
He could just as well have been talking about Chicago.
The NY teachers union and some others supported other Democratic candidates. Other unions supported de Blasio. No matter. Bill de Blasio’s support was evident in every borough.
It goes without saying that none of the major unions supported the clown, Anthony Weiner, Quinn or the Republicans.
Bill de Blasio ran against what Bloomberg has created: A tale of two cities. One for the rich and one for the poor. The failure of corporate school reform was part of that narrative.
As I write this it is not known whether de Blasio made the cut score of 40%. He is close. If he didn’t, he will probably win in several weeks when the next round of voting may take place. If promises made are promises kept, the Bloomberg policies are dead. They have clearly been rejected by the entire city of New York.
Chicago does not have an alternative to our Bloomberg.
At the moment.
We are looking.
The results of the New York Primary should make Rahm a nervous man.

“If promises made are promises kept, the Bloomberg policies are dead.”
Unfortunately, as I learned from Obama, that is a very real “if”. De Blasio seems like the real deal and talks a good talk, but so did Obama. Time will tell….
