Lou Posted April 25, 2023 at 05:44 PM Share Posted April 25, 2023 at 05:44 PM It is because she will be running for governor on 2024 while Jelly Belly runs for US Senator replacing Durbin. No- that is not in purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No- that is not in purple Durbin not running? I think JB is after the Presidency, Biden will not make It one way or another and Kamala can't be there to even try because the VP will be who they will be voting for.

Jeffrey Posted April 25, 2023 at 06:59 PM Share Posted April 25, 2023 at 06:59 PM I think a lot of chicagoans are now wishing they got to keep beetlejuice when comparing the new boss. The city will most likely hire someone that is even more lunatic than Foxy. Summer of love '23 still stands at 750 for the over/under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euler Posted April 25, 2023 at 10:30 PM Share Posted April 25, 2023 at 10:30 PM CWBChicago's take: CWBChicago said: ... The list of possible replacements is already being drawn up by political spectators, with NBC5's Mary Ann Ahern suggesting former Chicago Inspector General Joe Ferguson, former Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin, and Dan Kirk, a high-ranking prosecutor under Foxx's predecessor as possibilities. Late last year, a CWBChicago source said a recently-resigned Cook County judge was leaving the bench to run for Foxx's seat. ... But she won many fans and handily the 2020 election to serve a second term. Reviews of the final results found she actually lost in the suburbs, but more than made up for it by winning over city voters. Advocates have praised her decisions to prosecute fewer retail theft and narcotics cases. ... But several high-profile resignations over the past year by some of her office's most seasoned attorneys raised eyebrows. ... On 4/25/2023 at 3:44 PM, Odinson said: We might not lose Mayor Lightfoot.

Increasing and spreading crime while confiscating firearms from the law abiding - tired of this GTA universe. Nearly everything I've read about Preckwinkle and Lightfoot is that they can't stand each other. Foxx was Preckwinkle's choice for ASA. Lightfoot wouldn't be. Also Lightfoot would likely see ASA as a demotion from mayor. I'd sooner believe she would try for Durbin's senate seat directly, although I'm not so sure she has the support in the party or among the populace to get it.

DoYouFeelLucky Posted April 26, 2023 at 01:48 AM Share Posted April 26, 2023 at 01:48 AM Chicago needs someone very soft on crime, in fact, someone who won't prosecute at all. That way all these Chicago criminals who seem to have fled to Des Moines will go back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the gerrymandering the Demoncrats control, the opposition doesn't even bother to run in a LOT of jurisdictions. The key to unlocking Illinois is to stomp out gerrymandering.

Then the opposition needs to start challenging incumbents in every district, even where the odds are poor. Changing political trajectories requires decades of work. The party affiliation of a state legislature or governor's mansion doesn't (often) change overnight. Even when it does, there was usually a lot of background work that took many, many years. It requires a concerted, sustained effort to build the necessary politicial foundation, a multigenerational project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
