"Candidate, dead fish" must be reside in Chicago certain a length of times(month, year),in order to run the office, but he was not. So, maybe he is out of JOB????

October 04 2010 at 8:08 PM Report abuse Permalink +5 rate up rate down ReplyFolks, I can't see any evidence that the location where a candidate films his first message to his prospective constituents needs to be debated and his motives need to be questioned. The media have indicated that Rahm's residency might become an issue. He's not stupid. I suspect that his handlers had already gotten a legal opinion on the residency issue before he threw his hat...Lighten up and let the man take a shot at his dream. Personally, I'm glad he's out of the White House. Maybe now, I can have a shot at my dream--a successful Obama Presidency.

Just because he wasnt physically standing in his state doesnt mean that he's trying to dupe the public. OMG, people, get a grip here. If its being aired in Chicago and its truly his home town what is the problem? It doesnt make him any less sincere. This whole issue is pathetic! Is this what some of you think takes precedence over how he is going to tackle the issues that Chicago currently faces? He was excellent at his job in the White House,this is in NO way an indication as to what kind of a politician/person he is. He didnt do anything wrong, all he is guilty of is doing his job and promoting his campaign for Mayor at the same time. I'd say thats dedication, not fabrication. I dont live in Chicago but I hope the voters there know that they would be getting someone who would, without doubt, be able to make some positive changes for them. Sad that he left the White House he was very good at his job there.

October 04 2010 at 7:29 PM Report abuse Permalink +21 rate up rate down ReplyMatt Lewis wrote this article. Mr Lewis Rahm Emanuel is running for office in Chicago. Where do you think he will be showing the video? Who do you think he is talking too? I'm guessing that he is speaking to the people of Chicago, so what difference does it make where he filmed it ?.....Where were you when you wrote your article, FOX News? ?
October 04 2010 at 6:29 PM Report abuse Permalink -40 rate up rate down ReplyOh, and one more thing, he's having a few problems with his plan to run for mayor of Chicago, as you have to be a Chicago resident for 1 year prior. He has no residence in Chicago. His house is rented, therefore, is no longer considered his place of residence.
October 04 2010 at 7:12 PM Report abuse Permalink +25 rate up rate down ReplyIs this more typical of DC politics, or Chicago politics? It would be poetic to see Rahm in the unemployment lines: he sure hasn't done anything for those already there.
