Emanuel, who also served in the U.S. House of Representatives, will headline two fundraisers for the group in June. His support comes less than a week after Virginia Senator Tim Kaine also backed the effort.

He is the epitome of the DLC/Third Way Democrats. He's like those endless stream of "serious people" that advise elected officials. It doesn't matter how many times they're proven wrong they are still the go-to guys for elected officials.
Man! I really feel sorry for Chicago, they will be the next Detroit. Fucked by the financial industry.
