Doom is upon us.
I don't think is a sure thing at all even with all of the business money behind him for Daily to win the runoff.
What he is going to pick up 1, 2, and 3 % from Foretti, Vallas, and McCarthy? That's not enough votes right there.

I’m not too sure that these leftist females all like eachother that much, though.
For example, I don’t see Mendoza voters supporting Preckwinkle.
I actually think that Preckwinkle is the most extreme of the bunch with her leftist stance. Everybody else (Mendoza, Daley, Chico, Vallas, Lightfoot) come across as more centrist to me. Even Willie Wilson got the endorsement of Chicago’s tiny Republican Party.
I have a suspicion that Preckwinkle’s base is deep but not broad. To win you need to broaden your electorate, and Preckwinkle is doing herself zero favors by alienating white people.
