Chicago Special Election for (Corrupt) Jessie Jackson Junior's Seat

[Black Butte]

Any news of today's election results? I know Mayor Bloomberg poured about $2 million of his own money into Chicago to keep Debbie Halvorson from winning because she's not anti-gun enough for Michael. I would be pleased if Bloomberg lost his money trying to buy political influence in another city.

I hear the favorite shoe-in candidate is just another ghetto loving, gun hating liberal politician just like Jessie Jr.

The pro-gun one conceded last night, with something like half the votes of the winner IIRC. Rachel Maddow seemed proud of the effect Bloomberg's money had.
