Rahm Emanuel was elected mayor of the largest city in Illinois.

IMO, this demonstrates:
There is one party rule in Chicago, and for the most, part in the rest of the state.

The state of Illinois will continue to slide downhill.

The state has not "hit bottom" yet, and no serious attempt to deal with the problems will be made until it does.

Footnote: the problems here are as bad or worse than those in Wisconsin, but Governor and Legislature don't have the sense/fortitude/inclination to deal with them, so they merely postpone the crisis.
