Rahm paving path for 2016 prez bid
With Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s massive “new” infrastructure pitch, the former ballerino has done a full pirouette from Chicago to the national stage. Ostentatiously ambitious, his “Building a New Chicago” marks the unofficial launch of a 2016 presidential bid. - Emanuel makes no small plans. Yet, unlike Daniel Burnham, his plans are methodically and meticulously aimed at power. The 2016 presidential prospects are already lining up. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in the hunt. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may do one last campaign. Emanuel is already way ahead of them.
