Bill Clinton v. Danny Davis Round 1

Former President Bill Clinton has a trip planned for Chicago in 2011. Clinton is supposedly coming to campaign for former chief of staff and mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel.

OK, tangent for a second. Rahm's surname is Emanuel. Stay with me because I just put two and two together and need to get this off my chest. We can't elect him. It would be a religious vote to vote for Emanuel. For those of you who are a little slow, Emmanuel is what they called Jesus. Who does Rahm think he is? The second coming? If he does, then is he now the anti-christ. Maybe we should vote for him to piss off the bible banging religious nuts. Nevermind this entire rant in light of this new evidence. Tangent over. 

Mayoral candidate Danny Davis to Clinton, "Butt out." He has threatened the former President that his relationship with the African Americans would be strained if he were to publicly support Emanuel. 

Ding, ding. It's Apollo (Clinton) v. Rocky (Davis) of the Chicago mayoral scene. So grab your popcorn and order the pay-per-view to watch these two go at it. For those of you keeping track, Apollo beat Rocky the first time. So there's not going to be a real surprise ending.

Davis currently has the African American vote in his pocket with the most support at 21 percent, as reported by the Chicago Tribune earlier today. Emanuel was at a close second with 19 percent. No wonder he wants Clinton out of here. With Clinton's support Emanuel could easily surpass Davis' meager lead. 

Davis told Clinton to take his time and go to Arkansas. He just got out of Arkansas almost two decades ago. Why in the hell would anyone want to go back? Note: I've never been to the state, but I have no desire to go there. So I don't care how nice you think it is. I could tell you Illinois is nice, but I live here so I'm partial. So are you. So don't start. 

Honestly, I don't know what Davis is really afraid of. He's behind in the polls anyway. I don't mean a little behind. He's over 30 percent behind Emanuel. It's not like he's going to gain that ground if Clinton stays away anyway. 

So Davis, quit your squawking. Clinton is probably going to campaign for Emanuel anyway. He's an ex-President. He can do what he wants. It's not going to harm your campaign in anyway because your campaign seems like it can't even get off the ground. 

Round 1: Clinton 0. Davis -1 for being whiney. Clinton wins by default.
