Sadly, Chicago Alderman Ed Bus failed to garner the necessary votes to force Rahm Emanuel into a run-off, ending his Very Clever endorsed bid for Chicago Mayor.

Very Clever is proud of our contribution to Alderman Bus’ candidacy, and all Ed Bus videos can be seen at 53rdward.com and Schadenfreude.net.
