The Washington Post has this summary of the crowded field for the Chicago Mayoral election, including coverage of the legal controversy over whether Rahm Emanuel meets the residency requirement. Twenty candidates filed petitions by the November 22 deadline. The election is set for February 22. Thanks to ElectionLawBlog for the link. One of the candidates is outgoing U.S. Senator Roland Burris. Another is the man who lives in the Chicago home owned by Emanuel.
