Crowd at NAACP forum cheers Garcia, jeers Emanuel

[Stellar]

Chicago’s mayoral runoff race moved on Sunday to the West Side, where a crowd at an NAACP forum turned on Mayor Rahm Emanuel before warmly embracing his challenger, Jesus “Chuy” Garcia.

The Chicago Westside NAACP Branch gave Emanuel and Garcia an opportunity to make their cases to voters at Purcell Hall in Garfield Park. The candidates spent roughly an hour each answering questions from a two-person panel.

Emanuel went first, fielding questions about education, street violence, West Side representation on city boards and community participation in city government. But the crowd grew restless as he neared his closing statement and had used examples from other parts of the city to explain his policies.

One woman in the audience interrupted Emanuel, imploring him to talk “about the West Side. We haven’t heard about Austin, Lawndale,” she said to applause....

All of his money can't get this crowd to like Emanuel, and he needs them....poor thing. Obama showed up to support him and I guess that was all Rahm thought he needed to impress the African-American community in Chicago. Wrong! More at the link.
