Bloomberg story about Rahm Emanuel's ouster as a candidate for Chicago Mayor. At the very bottom it lists Steve Jobs as donating $50k to his election fund. David Geffen donated $100k. Since Mr. Jobs has left the day to day running of Apple to others, I guess he could now want to live in Chicago. Personally, I would be in Hawaii / Australia / Vietnam / Indonesia / Maldives / any other place but cold and windy Chicago. But apparently Mr. Jobs wants to live in Chicago so thats why he donated $50k for Chicago's mayoral race. Do I think Mr. Jobs and Mr. Geffen care about Chicago city politics? NO! But having the former chief-of-staff of the sitting President become Mayor of Chicago, the current Presidents "home town", on your $50k could definitely open white house doors for any ideas you may have.
And don't worry. I'm sure Mr. Emanuel will get his shot at the highest office in Chicago. This is Chicago Illinois we're talking about. Hint hint. Wink wink. Graft graft. Bribe bribe. ;)
