Chicago Set to Vote for New Mayor 
----------------------------------



Voters in Chicago head to the polls today to pick a replacement to
succeed the retiring Mayor Richard Daley. Candidates include President
Obama's former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, former U.S. senator Carol
Moseley Braun, former Chicago schools president Gery Chico, and City
Clerk Miguel del Valle. If no candidate receives 50 percent of the vote,
a runoff will be held in six weeks.
