#6 Really, an encyclopedia ? Machine Politics from the Encyclopedia of Chigago

As the younger Daley (soon to retire) readily acknowledged, radically different demographics and the attendant alterations in the political calculus clearly made the machine politics for which Chicago became famous an anachronism by the end of the twentieth century.

Well, the anachronism is alive and well in the 21st century.

#10 The Democrats are facing some interesting internecine conflict, which has been described as a gang war between the "Dion O'bama" faction and the "Hillary Capone" gang.

#11 Rahm Emanuel makes my skin crawl. I think he is capable of anything to achieve his ends. Hope Chicago breaks the cycle of corruption.
