Remembering what never was

Consider this commentary a moment of silence for the most memorable political campaign that never will be – the challenge of Chicago Teachers Union head Karen Lewis against Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

On account of her illness (a Chicago Sun-Times “Sneedscoop” tells us it’s a brain tumor), it seems Emanuel will get a batch of lukewarm to nothing challengers, and we will get the reign of Rahm II. For all those who were viewing the gubernatorial election as a prelude to next year’s mayoral brawl, this will be the biggest letdown!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And as for Lewis, here’s hoping she recovers in full from the “Brain Tumor Battle” that the Sun-Times splashed all over Tuesday’s front page.
