Appeals Court Says Rahm Emanuel Shouldn't Be On Ballot In Chicago

"Rahm Emanuel was thrown off the ballot for mayor of Chicago today by an appellate court panel, a stunning blow to the fund-raising leader in the race," the Chicago Sun-Timesreports.

The Tribune is on the story as well.

Emanuel, a former congressman from Chicago who was President Obama's chief of staff until late last year, is expected to appeal to Illinois' Supreme Court.

The legal issue is whether he remained a resident of the city while working in the White House.

Frank will have much more on this over at It's All Politics.
