I am going to pay today for staying until the wee hours following the election. Per the Tribune, the 49th Ward has one precinct outstanding due to computer problems and Moore has declared victory. I have to go to work in a few, but this could be an interesting day.
I said in an earlier post that given how close the vote is the winner has to be cognizant of the fact that a significant portion of the populace is unconvinced the winner should have won. If JoMo's claim to victory survives all challenges he best wrap his mind around an unhappy reality: he is vulnerable despite his war chest of dollars from needy developers. He has to perform these next 4 years or they will be his last as alderman and no promotion to the next job on his political radar. I hope he's paying attention.
