[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 402685, member: 9789"] My uncle was the Republican candidate for Congress in Cook County on the '48 ticket with Dewey. My dad used to tell me about all the horror stories of the Democratic Machine under Mayor Daly who was the father of the current mayor. In 1960, Nixon vs Kennedy - it came down to Chicago and there was a lot of strong arm tactics used. Many accusations of ballot box stuffing. I am going to pull a Diesel on this... because I can't prove it - I do know someone who might be able to give me additional insight but not right now! I have heard (but can't substantiate it).... Obama was chosen for the state senate when he was a community organizer - He was "chosen" for his eloquence and likability. The Chicago Machine thought he could be the 1st black President. They used their power to get him elected to the national stage and again used the Daley Machine to make him the keynote speaker for the Dem convention in '04. This was done to bring him into national prominence. He was given bills to sponsor to give him credibility. He is a disaster waiting to happen. If you think we have problems now, wait till he gets in and polarizes this nation with his socialistic and left wing policies. [/QUOTE]
