Where he takes a humble approach. "I rub people the wrong way. I talk when I should listen. I'm not always gonna get it right. I own it"

What do you think of it? I know REALLY SMART PEOPLE advised him on the ad.

I like how he said "I own it" instead of "I admit it". Using the younger generation's lingo.

Gonna work for him?

I think it's so transparent that birds will fly into it and die, but it should be pretty effective, yeah.

He never talks about those red light cameras. If Chuey keeps on that subject and paint Rahm as a cold-hearted ,out of touch elitist,he might steal some more votes.

When you see Chuy not being able to keep track of his own donations and his reponse to the city budget issues are "i need to do my homework"

Even the guys in jail were smart enough to not let Madoff run the books for the lunch program when he volunteered! lol

I thought Rahm should have gone deeper in his "Humility ad"

Rahm: I can be a bitch. I can be rude. Sometimes I park in handicap spots because I'm in a hurry. I'm also a sexist and a racist. I own all of that. That being said, I'll fight hard for Chicago, SO VOTE FOR ME YOU SONS OF BITCHES.

Tons of them...lotsa bicycle messengers in this city!

'Why you voting for Chuy?"
"I just dont like Rahm"
"Fair enough"

Wouldn't be the first guy to win because of an unlikable incumbent.

It's not about being likable. When you use your elected position to enrich your wealthy friends in private equity and defense contracting, people are going to take exception. And yes, the exception is more likely to come from bike couriers than real estate developers.

Breaking News
Chicago plans to eliminate 50 more red light cameras

Mayor Rahm Emanuel planned to announce the removal of 50 red light cameras at a news conference on Sunday, just days after his challenger in the April 7 runoff election promised to end the scandal-ridden program altogether.

I dont doubt they'll get rid of the red light camera's, but I assure you the speed cameras will see quite the expansion.

To me the commercial makes it seem he is in panic mode.

Rahm is still atrocious and I'm not sure he's any better than Daley. But Daley is the one who sold the Skyway and parking meters. Guy was teflon though, because he pretended to give a shit about the poor and middle class. He at least entertained them for a couple hours a day and he never outwardly fucked people over like Rahm did with the schools.

Rahm OTOH does not care and is not afraid to show it. I remember that FOIA request that one chick put in and his schedule was nothing but billionaires. Its just really weird for a guy who is supposed to be a disciple of Clinton, perhaps the only person in history better at Daley than ass-fucking his constituency without repercussion.
