There was a lot of to do in the news that both candidates making it to the runoff are black women, but to me, the big deal is that William Daley lost.

Not only is this a blow to the Chicago machine, it is a blow to the Daley dynasty:

Two African-American women are headed for a runoff in the Chicago mayor’s race, setting up an election that will make history.

Lori Lightfoot, a former federal prosecutor and sharp critic of the status quo at City Hall, and Toni Preckwinkle, the county board president and chairwoman of the county’s Democratic Party, will face one another in a runoff election set for April, according to The Associated Press.

The third top vote-getter — William M. Daley, a member of Chicago’s political dynasty of Daleys — earlier conceded defeat.

I’m not a Chicago voter, so I really do not care who wins, I’m just glad that the Daley, erstwhile mayor for life and FOB (Friend of Barak) lost.

Maybe now, Fredrick Law Olmstead’s park won’t be ruined by Obama’s Presidential library plans.
