Emanuel heads to Easter run-off against Jesus.
Rahm Emanuel forced into run-off for mayor of Chicago. Maps.
It was a 4-way election. I don't even know yet who came in second,
probably the guy who was backed by the Harold Washington party
(or maybe faction, I'm not sure if they are still a party.) Update to follow.
I think it's safe to predict the Mayor will win the spring run-off.
Oh, well maybe this explain it, he was running against Jesus, who got 33%.
Jesus is a Washington ally and the election is nominally non-partisan.
