Longtime Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley on Monday announced that he won’t seek re-election in 2011. Daley, who has been the mayor of the Windy City for 21 years, told reporters that it’s time for both him and the city of Chicago to move on.
As Big League Stew’s Kevin Kaduk writes, it didn’t take long for an interesting candidate to throw his name into the ring to be his replacement: Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen. Guillen went to Twitter with his reaction, jokingly tweeting “Next mayor well why not me lol.” Well, he was definitely not serious and his mayoral aspirations would be more realistic if they were in the social media check-in app Foursquare than running for public office.
Just like Kaduk, however, we at tauntr would love to see him actually run for office because he would make one entertaining politician...
