I'm watching Chuy Garcia on Ed and I must say I am impressed. He is for everything

opposite of what Rahm is for and against the big money in politics. Big turnout by people who want a change. I like it and hope Rahm is gone....

can now see that - yes - voter turnout and their vote can make a difference. One could have all the money in the world for a campaign - but it comes down to the People to elect. Just listening today to talk radio and local TV in Chicago - I can see it in the eyes and hear it in the voices of the People. They know that they can have an impact and I'm sensing that we'll see a real big turnout for Chuy in April.

Rahm burnt bridges. He's a user. He used people to get elected and then betrayed them. The People are pissed.

The Edit:

I also wanted to say that voters all over the country will be watching the April run-off election. If Chuy wins - I think it will be the catalyst to get people all over the country to realize that they can make a difference and that will result in larger voter turnout for all future elections.
