Daley, Chicago once again seems to be at the center of the political universe. 'The Second City won’t be the second city anymore when Obama wins,' said former Chicago Rep. Martin Russo. 'Remember, Chicago has played some significant roles in the past, but obviously this would be the biggest role it has ever played: having a president of the United States from Chicago.'" (Politico)
