Not to run for Mare.
From Crain's:
Emanuel loses ballot challenge in Appeals Court
January 24, 2011
(Crain's) — The Appellate Court overturned a lower court ruling and said Rahm Emanuel cannot stay on the ballot for Chicago mayor, setting the stage for a state Supreme Court showdown.
A lawyer for Mr. Emanuel says the former White House chief of staff will appeal a ruling that says his name can't appear on the ballot for Chicago mayor. Mike Kasper said on Monday that they will take the case to the Illinois Supreme Court.
The Appellate Court ruled 2-1 Monday that Mr. Emanuel does not meet the residency requirements to run for mayor in the Feb. 22 election.

There are so many ways that this is Rahm's best, long-run political move that it would be easy to read canny intentionality into it.
And that would be wrong.
However I am sure of one thing: somehow, some way, this is good news for John McCain.

DG! Help! Give us more. I'm missing something here. And you KNOW things others don't! More please!!
I thought he was cleverer than this. Did he just overreach (Duh! Rahm of the outsized ego--) or is there something I'm missing here? I mean, it seems as if fulfilling the residency requirements would be something he would've researched...
