Davlin 90+%
As a bonus question can we get how many precincts he'll lose in the general election? IIRC, last time he lost 6 out of 2912.
Brown will do ok on the west side and not as well on the south side. Daley is not going to do as well in the white ethnic wards as he has in the past because of his problem with the police, firemen and the unions but most of those not voting for him will just skip that race.
Brown 25
Walls 5
(maybe too generous to dock)
Davlin-65% (Strom doesn't excite many people that I know and I won't be voting for him)
Davlin - 2 Wal-Mart's
Oh, wait that's what they will do once elected.
Here, Brown is running a race so she will get some votes. Also, there may be a lot of new people out voting this time who are fed up by the clowns in the City Counsel. A percentage of those people will try and wipe the slate clean by voting gainst the incumbent aldermen and also against Mayor Daley.
Some of the unions are not thrilled with Daley, which will hurt.
Still, Daley takes 62%. A lot of people view things as I do: We may not like our own alderman, but we generally like the direction that Daley is taking the city and don't see any reason to make a change in the big office.
If it is under 60% expect 10 incumbent aldermen to lose also. If he polls over 75%, it will be two or three.
Brown 17-20
Daley 76-81
I live in Springfield. I am a "Hard R" and will be voting for Davlin. He gets 60%; I would give him more but I can see some people voting for Bruce Strom just because Davlin isn't married and frequents many watering holes.
Davlin 41%
What's the over/under for Sequoia machine malfunctions?
The Firefighters E-board wouldn't know a good candidate if one bit them in their behinds.
