Chuy, Chuy, Chuy. [View all]

What have thou donest to thine fine opportunity?

You had it in your grasp, the mayorship, I mean. People actively disliked and mistrusted Rahm, but your "not ready for prime time" campaign and lack of any details reminded me of how Hilary is ducking the hard issues yet again. You were our best hope to fix what Rahm is breaking, with his corporate weasels and his close Wall street fiends. But when you came up to bat, rather than take a big swing, you thought about a bunt, while the pitches were zipping by.

Between Rahm and Rauner, I don't think we will recognize this state in the very near future.

I know you were short on time, short of money, and slightly ham-strung in getting campaign aides and advisors together. But, the very attractiveness (initially) of your campaign has turned into rust, even though I still believe you would be a decent mayor.
