● Chicago, IL Mayor: Chicago's Feb. 26 nonpartisan primary is coming up quickly, and with over a dozen candidates on the ballot, it can be extremely tough to get a handle of what all the contenders are for or against. Luckily, the local NPR affiliate WBEZ has come up with a creative way to convey this information. WBEZ sent the candidates a question with 20 specific yes-or-no questions on various issues, and they were given limited space to explain their answers. It's a very useful tool, and one we hope will be utilized in other races across the country...

I think that this would be a good idea for the primary for all of those wanting to be President.

1. Thanks for this.

The primary is approaching way too quickly for my liking. So far, I've been less than thrilled by all the candidates so this tool might be useful in helping me make up my mind.

2. Chico and Preckwinkle

are going to get caught up in the Burke corruption mess.

Some of them are no shows as far as marketing themselves.

So far I like Lightfoot, Joyce and Mendoza.

Thanks for this link.

3. mendoza is gonna get dirtied up, too.

whining about the ballot challenges really made me rethink her. i used to really like her.
but whatever it was danny solo did to earn that wire is gonna splash all over her.

4. Didn't hear her whining

about that, she used to come on Benny Jay show on CPT and was always impressive.

Did not hear of her connections to Burke since she was a State rep and Comptroller.

What do you think it is.

I'm troubled with my vote so far, want to hear more before I vote.

My voting booth is at the corner of my block so voting on election day is easy for me.

5. i'm thinking lightfoot.

i care about shaping up the fucking cops around here.

mendoza is impressive in a lot of way. she has a ton of energy and did some good stuff at the city.
i guess we will get the rest of the story after the election.
i am waiting till election day. no question on alderman, but still unsettled.

i suspect it will be toni. i can live w that. i think the county has taken great strides, and done many smart things. esp working w dart to get mentally ill out of county jail.
yeah, part of the machine. but still doing a good job. not getting my primary vote, tho.

6. Anybody But Rahm

Last time was easier with Chuy. I am probably process of elimination.

NO Daley Please nooooooo!
No Chico - Burke henchman

Thanks for your input. This is the hardest one since Daley's last.

7. yeah, i think mayor chico is a possibility.

his commercials are good. i think he also would do a decent job. i think he is a grown up, and smart.
but, yeah, he has the stink on him, too.

but it sure is gonna be interesting.
i think there is gonna be a good flushing of this toilet of council.

what ward are you in? i am quite sure we will have a new face here in 49.
