Editor's Notes
- According to an interview conducted with Dr. Alan Gitelson, There are 4 crucial voting blocs in this election: Black vote, Latino vote, Irish vote (6.6%), Jewish vote (specifically because of Emanuel's presence).In order for a candidate to win, a candidate must capture two.the Black bloc is already split between the major Black candidates.Latino vote can be split as well, also often have problems with registration.Irish bloc have not put forward a candidate yet.Jewish vote will come out for Rahm.Rahm is going to need a lot of money from outside of the city.Rahm must appeal to Latinos and Blacks.Emanuel should reach out to Daly and Michael Madigan. (Immigration Reform is a way to mobilize Hispanic faction).
- Since the key groups are Hispanics, blacks, Irish, and Jewish, the best place to concentrate a candidate’s, like Rahm Emanuel, forces is in the heart of Chicago where a variety of groups including hispanics, blacks, and Irish live. Rahm Emanuel, who comes from a Jewish background can focus less on the Jewish demographic since he is the popular candidate within that demographic. In this area, there are a lot of inter-connections between different groups. Therefore, if Rahm Emanuel can focus a great amount of resources into this area, he can gain great support from the different important demographic groups. Thus, using clustering and weak-ties between demographic groups as bridges, Rahm Emanuel can spread his specific campaign message through these groups to increase voter awareness and eventually turnout.Hispanics can be influenced by topics such as immigration reform, reform of drug punishments, and decrease in racial profiling.Blacks can be influenced by topics such as reform in drug punishments, abolishment of racial profiling, and prison-to-work incentives to help past inmates.
