Last night, as Moseley Braun conceded defeat in Chicago's mayoral race, won by Rahm Emmanuel. she said that though it wouldn't be her, she was sure that someday someone would be elected the first woman mayor of Chicago.
This foot in mouth was right in line with her entire silly campaign , which was based entirely on two things, once upon a time she was a US Senator and she has chocolate colored skin. Justifiably, she received a paltry 9% of the vote tonight.
How horrible must this candidate have been for her to pull 9% of the vote in a city that is over 40% black?
Well she accused a fellow candidate of being a crack addict when the woman had witnesses to attest she hadn't been a drug user since she was a teenager.
She made a joke which made a comparison between Rahm Emmanuel , a Jew, and a character in a play depicting Adolf Hitler.
And she had to reveal the complete failure of her business, an organic tea distribution which grossed less than 15,000 dollars last year.
Moseley Braun seems to be a genuinely nice woman who has had gaffes and controversy follow her around for years. Why she thought it was appropriate to run for mayor of Chicago is anybody's guess.
