- Willie Wilson during his hearing at the Board of Elections
I was on the phone with a guy obsessively talking politics, when he said . . .
“He said Mayor Emanuel didn’t challenge Willie Wilson.”
To be double sure, I checked in with Rickey Hendon, the former west-side state senator, who’s the brains behind the Wilson campaign.
“It wasn’t just Kasper,” said Hendon. “Rahm had a full team. They had a bunch of other $500-an-hour, suit-wearing attorneys.” Then there are the two white guys Hendon and Avila say follow Wilson every time he has a press conference.
Hendon had a field day with that one, speaking of trash talking.
One is that he wouldn’t have won anyway.
