Collapsing House of Cards

I had always thought they would carry him out of City Hall in a box. It looks as though the dissatisfaction with the entire corrupt system has gotten so much sunshine that even the immortal are throwing in the towel:

Hizzonor Won't Run Next Year--21 Years Is Enough

There will be the usual posturing among the alderman of the city, but it isn't likely that any of those largely faceless sycophants of Da Mayor would be able to muster the political clout or the cash to pad the proper pockets for the position. If the retiring mayor were to anoint an heir it might be different.

Meanwhile, who does have the name recognition?

"I Wouldn't Run Against Daley"

With Daley not running, the door is open. The timeliness would be perfect. He gets out of Washington before the final days in the bunker in 2012. He reaps the largesse for a year as the Reich liquidates assets and gets the gold and artwork out of Washington and he gains a position which he can milk for millions for decades into his old age with the empire totally collapsed around him. Maybe he might even have a job for his old buddy, the Bamster.
