Boss Man Fioretti?

We got a kick out of reading this link we found on the Chicago Journal referring to an article on the Chicago Reader. It looks at potential successors for Mayor Daley (that is if he doesn't run for the office again:
The City Council is hardly a bastion of independence or progressivism, and no
Daley loyalist in the bunch would run while the mayor's in the race. (Should he
retire, though, look out: "Hey, if he doesn't run, everybody in here's going for
it," one alderman says.)

But several of our bolder aldermen appear to be considering a challenge. Bob Fioretti of the Second Ward may be the most likely to pull the trigger. After just three years in office, Fioretti has become one of the real characters in local politics. His allure and his Achilles' heel are the same—he knows how to work all sides.

(Hat Tip to the Chicago Journal!)
