Still too early to tell for some of the key aldermanic races. Hopkins has a lead in the 2nd but I really hope Pattison can pull it out. Michele Smith is winning in the 43rd, but barely.

Does Crains have a % for Rahm yet?
A link would be nice but I can look it up. I am just thinking about those that do not find the link easily
The last election Rahm got 75% of the loop. this poll says greater than
85% in this run off. Even Chicago republicans came out for Rahm.

Emanuel wins new term as mayor
The race for mayor is over.
With more than two-thirds of the vote in, Mayor Rahm Emanuel holds
a commanding lead over challenger Jesus “Chuy” Garcia,
and there's no indication it's going to be close.
Detailed ward by ward totals were still coming in,
but it appears that Emanuel won just about everywhere except heavily Hispanic wards.
For instance,
Emanuel is winning the downtown 42nd Ward with a whopping 85 percent of the vote.
With 1,787 out of 2,069 precincts reporting, or more than 86 percent:
RAHM EMANUEL
275,718 55.58%
CHUY GARCIA
220,355 44.42%
Garcia, a Cook County Commissioner,
has conceded the election, according to news media reports.
