...maybe
Rahm Emanuel was thrown off the ballot for mayor of Chicago today by an appellate court panel, a stunning blow to the fund-raising leader in the race…
“It’s a surprise,” said Kevin Forde, the attorney who argued on Emanuel’s behalf.
...Emanuel had won two previous rulings — by the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners and a Cook County judge.
...Opponents have argued Emanuel is not a resident of Chicago because he rented out his North Side home while serving as chief of staff to Obama. The renter —Rob Halpin — refused to allow Emanuel to move back in after Mayor Daley’s announcement last year that he would not seek re-election. Halpin briefly ran for mayor himself.
