wow from what I've heard Daley had a slew of 'dead Democratic voters' but downstate there were the same amount of 'dead Republican voters' so it was a essentially a wash. He also tried to bring in a huge early lead for Kennedy to disuade Cal voters from going to the polls but that looks like it backfired a bit.

Old Man Daley was loved for sure and did a heck of a lot of good for the city. Unlike his son he was the cop and fireman's friend. Dealing with hoods etc. was just part being 'Da Mayor' Never was greedy for money though he loved power and was honest IMO after all he was quoted, something like "if you can't help a family member who can you help"

some other good ones

The policeman isn't there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder.

Television and radio do a wonderful job in focusing attention on the problems of our society.

Look at our Lords disciples. One denied Him; one doubted Him; one betrayed Him. If our Lord couldn't have perfection, how are you going to have it in city government?

No poll can equal the day-to-day visits of the men and women of the Democratic Party.
