CHICAGO (AP) ― Chicago mayoral candidate and former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun has appeared at a church on the city’s South Side.

On Sunday, Braun spoke at former opponent the Rev. James Meeks’ church. Last week, U.S. Rep. Danny Davis withdrew from the race, leaving Braun as the remaining prominent black candidate. Meeks withdrew on Dec. 23.

Davis introduced Braun on Sunday at Salem Baptist Church.

Braun told the congregation she “can bring the pieces together from across the world.” She also said the city must make sure it has a bright future and isn’t “a city divided or a people divided.”

Braun faces a strong field that includes former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, former public schools president Gery Chico and City Clerk Miguel del Valle.

How can anyone even CONSIDER running this woman for public office? She has disgraced every public office she has held and left under a cloud. In the 90s she paid her boyfriend, later her husband, $15,000 a month out of campaign funds. How she avoided going to prison I don’t know, she must have a friend in high places.She is the new Teflon candidate. Please, please google her/skeletons in her closet and prepare yourself to be shocked. You can start with this one: http://www.realchange.org/moseley.htm

I read the article that you linked here – I wouldn’t let this woman scrub the floors in my kitchen. I”m aftraid she’d steal eveything in the process. I’d probably find my pots and pans at the pawn shop the next day.

When white people vote for whites, they are considered racist, When Black people vote for blacks ( no matter How bad their criminal past) they are considered voting for one of their own, is THAT not racist also>, just asking
Mel Cragwell

is it possible to eschew race completely…or is that not possible in this city???

LOTD

Maybe you should ask the blacks this question??? Seems to me that they’re the ones constantly playing the “race card”. Whites just simply make comments or ask questions based on the FACTS!!!

I am SOOOOOO glad I no longer live in Chicago. If Carole Mostly-Fraud gets elected Chicago just might become another Detroit! The clown act of her “administration” will rival that of Todd “the Clod” Oh by the way NO FORENSIC AUDIT yet from “Phoney Toni” I guess it would be “rascist” to order a full investigation of the corrupt Stroger administration! “He just made a few bad choices.That’s all” With the onset of Braun’s campaign the “Black” community shows it’s rascist two-faced double standard hypocrisy.
