Sweitzer Wins Chicago Mayoral Nomination By Big Margin
The Chicago Eagle foretold Sweitzer would win a wide mayoral lead and a 77,551 plurality over Harrison. The Democratic field carried Sweitzer to a landslide with strong showings in the Eighth, Twelfth, and Hyde Park wards, while Thompson led Republicans citywide, and Olson faced calls for a recount from some supporters.
