      <![CDATA[Actually, our best hope for 'reform' lies not in any authority's actions, but in the possibility of the overwhelming numbers of votes which could be generated if the ambivalent non-voters and the disappointed idealist voters were to apply the simple, mathematical voting strategy proposed by the ever mysterious and always logical 'spock' posted above.
    
    First focus on 'firing' ALL incumbents; then see how many and varied candidates seek to replace them. 
    
    Sure, the political hacks will put up their shills, but, what the heck, nobody promised that good governance was going to be easy!
    
    But, with a whole new crop of unknown faces running for office, we voters will be forced to pay attention and actively engage in the democratic process. 
    
    And well we should.
    
    We, the people, just need to see evidence that our individual vote does matter.
    
    What better evidence of this can anyone think of, than to successfully fire ALL incumbents running for re-election.
    
    And what more efficient strategy can anyone come up with than that which has been proposed by 'spock'?
    
    I say, let's give it a try. What have we got to lose?

      <![CDATA[It is the opinion of most of us who did not vote for the incumbent that Daley did not win--he just announced that he won!! The microchips could have been changed before the election and changed back after. Most of teh bubble packs were stil at the polling place when Daley announced reelection.  He jumped the gun to appear to be the winner.  Do you really believe he won the 49th Ward!!  No way!!  Anyway, our only hope is that the whistleblowers come forth on Daley, the Board of Election Commissioners, and the machines--both the Democratic machine, the Sequoia Touchscreens, and Langdon Neal's office. What a dynasty--Daley has influence in the White House, Ireland, Israel, Chicago, Cook County and most of the state of Illinois.  I wonder what he writes in his mental diary about his outcomes.

      <![CDATA[Welcome my son, welcome to the Daley machine.
    Where have you been? its alright we know where youve been.
    Youve been in the pipeline, filling in time, provided with toys and
    scouting for whores.
    You bought a Hired Truck to punish the mob,
    And you didnt like school, and you know your Cecil Partees fool,
    So welcome to the machine.
    
    Welcome my son, welcome to the Daley machine.
    What did you dream? its alright we told you alderman what  to dream.
    You dreamed of a big envelope, he played a mean bribe
    He always ate in the steak bar. he loved to drive in his jaguar.
    So welcome to the Daley's machine.
