This was Chicago’s first Mayoral race in sixty years without an incumbent candidate- in addition for the 43 out of the last 56 years there has been a Daley in office.
Due to his vision and understanding of Chicago’s tech culture, Flyover Geeks endorsed Mr. Emanuel for Mayor (Flyover Geeks’ Chicago Mayoral Endorsement: It’s Rahm)
Chicago is moving firmly into the 21st century; now let’s see how our first new 21st Century Mayor leads.

Just wanted to clarify some of the points that Domain was trying to make in the 2nd paragraph. It should read: "This was Chicago's first Mayoral race in sixty years WITHOUT an incumbent candidate. In addition, for 43 OUT OF THE LAST 56 years, there has been a Daley in office."
In "the last 43" years, there HAVE been other mayors than Daley: Bilandic, Byrne, and Washington.
Right you are Louise- I made the correction just now to "without" re: incumbents and the wording to the years of Daley administrations.
