Andersonville resident throws name in hat for Rham's seat

Andersonville resident Matt Reichel is joining the race to replace Rahm Emanuel as the Fifth Congressional District representative. According to his website Matt grew up in Rogers Park is the "youngest and most prospective" candidate in the race and offering the "freshest perspective on the very serious challenges that face this country today." The race also includes a handful of other newcomers to the political arena along with four veterans of Chicago politics: Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley, State Reps. Sarah Feigenholtz and John Fritchey and Alderman Gene Schulter. The special election will be held on April 7th.

What's his affiliation? Not that that stuff matters anymore but just curious.

March 3rd is the date of the primary. The Democratic Nominee and next 5th CD Congressman will be selected on that date. The April General Election is a silly formality.

Wonder why he left that "Rogers Park" place?

Its the more casual look. Obama set a trend (as did John Kerry) by not wearing a tie with his suit.

Chicago is notorious for slobs in the fashion arena. I did hang up my "nice" clothes within 6 months of living here but I'm still not a slob. I'll save them for something better. You're not setting any "trends" Chicago.

Obama set the trend. No, wait, it was Kerry.

If you're wearing a tie, cinch it up, lest you be (correctly) categorized as a weenie. Possibly a putz.
