The Chicago Tribune has a big , big story. It appears Rahm Emanuel could be in big trouble come April:
Mayoral candidate Jesus "Chuy" Garcia got the endorsement of the Rev. Jesse Jackson on Monday as both the challenger and Mayor Rahm Emanuel compete for the crucial African-American vote ahead of next month's runoff election.War in the Democrat party.
Jackson cited Garcia's "consistent track record of service" including his work with Harold Washington, Chicago's first African-American mayor. Jackson also said his support of President Barack Obama, who has endorsed Emanuel, had no bearing on endorsing Garcia.
"This is not about President Obama and me, it's about Chuy and Rahm Emanuel. It's about whether there's a plan for reconstruction," said Jackson, who did not directly criticize Emanuel during his remarks.
"We've been blessed to know Chuy over the years," said Jackson, who added that Garcia would "assume the burden of responsibility to work with us to reconstruct where we live."
Garcia and Jackson appeared at a trash-strewn Englewood lot as the challenger promised to revitalize city neighborhoods he argues Emanuel has neglected at the expense of downtown.
