Emanuel Takes Shot at Friend as Race Tightens

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) “offered up a double serving of political theater Wednesday, attacking his friend Gov. Bruce Rauner’s attempt to slash state spending and airing a TV ad in which the mayor appeared contrite about his first term but didn’t specify what he got wrong,” the Chicago Tribune reports.

“Rauner and Emanuel share a well-heeled pool of corporate campaign donors and have vacationed together. Still, Emanuel went so far as to take a personal shot at Rauner.”
