The People’s Choice

At the Chicago Tribune Dahlene Glanton makes a similar point to the one I did about the Chicago mayoral primaries:

Voters on the South and West sides overwhelmingly supported Willie Wilson, a black self-made millionaire who never had a real chance of winning citywide support. But Wilson won 14 predominantly African-American wards.

Here’s the bottom line: In a race that drew only 34 percent of the registered voters to the polls, white people in Chicago decided that it was time to have an African-American female mayor. That has never happened in our city.

In other words Chicago’s black voters cast their votes for the real non-establishment candidate, Willie Wilson. Chicago’s white voters cast their votes for better known but not-quite-so-anti-establishment candidates. Who happened to be black.

That’s quite a change from the “Council Wars” Harold Washington days.

But it also is a warning shot across the bow for Democratic leaders. Take note!
