He left his post as President Barack Obama’s chief of staff with the intent of becoming Chicago’s next mayor, but Rahm Emanuel was forced to shift gears Monday. An Illinois state appellate court decided he failed to meet a basic standard for eligibility. Emanuel, of course, plans to fight on. —KA

All the anti Jewish stuff here makes me sick. Emanuel is clearly not a resident of Chicago to the degree the law stipulates.
He shouldn’t be given a pass just because he’s “connected” But then we’re talking about the City that believes the Mayor’s position is imperial.

Lots of anti-Israel vitriol in here.. as regards Emanuel and his further political aspirations it’s unneeded.. I think he was a key figure in driving the Obama presidency to fail it’s mandate and betray the public’s trust. He should not be given any recognition other than the boot! (from public affairs). In fact I can think of no better fate for him than to be placed on the ballot and soundly defeated.. on the basis of his politics and history.
But about Israelis and the influence of Israel in our politics and policies.. a lot of people take that very seriously. The list of key figures who held (dual) Israeli citizenship inside the Bush administration alone is eye-opening. This link gives a good quick history of this potential problem:

Obama faced with security problem at outset of transition process
Wayne Madsen Report November 6, 2008
WMR has learned from informed U.S. intelligence sources that prospective
Barack Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has an active FBI
counter-intelligence file maintained on him. Emanuel’s rise to the Chief of Staff
position may pose a significant security problem for President-elect Obama if
the FBI insists on conducting the full background security investigation
normally required for senior White House officials.
Questions about Emanuel’s links to the Israeli intelligence service, the Mossad,
were allegedly so great that President Bill Clinton was forced to dismiss
Emanuel from the White House staff in 1998. One of the FBI agents who
discovered Emanuel’s dealings with Israeli intelligence was, according to our
sources, the late FBI counter-terrorism Assistant Director John O’Neill.
