      <![CDATA[You forgot:
    
    Exactly how many votes for daley were cast by fraudulent means?
    
    As in:
    
    Fictitious voters?
    
    Deceased voters?
    
    Former voters who've moved outside the city limits?
    
    Voters whose votes were cast for daley without their knowledge?
    
    Voters who were paid / bribed to vote for daley?
    
    Voters who were intimidated into voting for daley?
    
    Voters who voted for daley because they would never vote for a nigger?
    
    Voters who voted for daley multiple times, being registered at several addresses and nobody's purged the voter registration lists of duplicates?
    
    Voters who voted for daley multiple times, using variations on their legal names?

      <![CDATA[It was a bit more than 70%, and, NOT "of the people", BUT, rather, of the people who VOTED.
    
    An accurate assessment of the 'popularity' of Daley would necessitate a calculation of:
    
    1) Exactly how many citizens of this city were qualified to vote on election day?
    
    2) Exactly how many citizens were registered to vote on election day?
    
    3) Exactly how many citizens actually  voted on election day?
    
    4) Exactly how many citizens voted for Daley?
    
    5) Exactly how many citizens voted for someone other than Daley?
    
    6) Exactly how many votes were cast, but then invalidated?
    
    7) Exactly how many citizens tried to vote, but were denied, for whatever reasons?
    
    The results of this audit would give us an accurate assessment of Daley's true 'popularity'.

      <![CDATA[On second thought, Kozicki has a point when he asks (lowercase added to spare sensitive eyeballs), "If the mayor is such a dictator, how can he convince 80% of the people to vote for him?" Real dictators routinely pull 90 to 100 percent of the "vote." Daley's not trying hard enough.

    IF THE MAYOR WAS AS BAD AS YOU AS YOU CLAIM, 
    
    WHY IS HE REELECTED WITH SUCH CRUSHING MAJORITES. 
    
    IF THE MAYOR IS SUCH A DICTATOR,

    WHY DOESN'T BEN AND HIS FOLLOWERS MOVE TO DETROIT."

      <![CDATA["People in Chicago will let Mayor Daley do whatever he wants, so long as he doesn't do it to them."
    
    
    And yet, the things being done ARE being done to ALL OF US.
    
    
    Every bullshit move made by Daley and his associates affects ALL of the citizens of this city and county, yet, the majority of the 'voters', those who vote, and those who don't, seem to believe in the 'benevolence' of this particular 'dictator'.
    
    'Seem to believe' is the operative phrase here, as, it's, hopefully, much more likely that 'the people' don't believe in much of anything, anymore.
    
    Thanks to the workings of our 'benevolent dictator(s)' and their 'machine'.
