#1 Wouldn't it be so very 2023 if Lightfoot was the best of the candidates?

#2 I would think she stands to win as the other candidates will split the voters who dislike her.

#3 She can count on a split but she needs 50%+ or she'll run against someone else in a 2 person runoff in April

#4 In Chicago it's all about the machine and the business interests that line up behind the machine. The actual Chicago machine these days answers to the horrendous Toni Preckwinkle (Cook County supervisor) and to some extent to the also horrible J.B. Pritzker (governor.)

Whatever they want, is what the chumboloneys in Chicago will get.
