Chicago Voters Head To Polls To Replace Mayor Daley
For the first time in more than two decades, voters in Chicago go to the polls Tuesday to elect a mayor who is not named Richard Daley. Last year, Daley announced he would not seek a record seventh term.
Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is one of the candidates hoping to replace Daley. Although Emanuel leads in both polls and fundraising, the other candidates predict there will be no clear-cut winner and that a runoff is likely.
Here's what all the candidates running for mayor of Chicago want to do: get 50 percent plus one more vote. That's what it will take to claim outright victory.
During the last full day of campaigning on Monday, the candidates crisscrossed the city.
Emanuel started at a familiar place — one of the city's elevated train stations in the L system.
"It's either 109 or 110 L stops since we started," Emanuel says.
