Good luck to the kid. Although why anyone would want to be an alderman in Chicago, let alone even live there, is beyond me.

He's studying Political Science. His senior thesis can be about his campaign, so even if he loses the election (we may expect the dead to be out in force voting Dem)it's a win-win situation for him, provided the machine doesn't sic Nunzio Guido the Enforcer on him.

I doubt the young man will come to physical harm -- there's too much attention on him -- but I expect that he will be "encouraged" to seek employment outside the state of Illinois.
