Rahm Forgets To Vote In IL-5 (Don't Make The Same Mistake!)

In Iraq today, Air Force officer and "lover of all things Chicago" Nate Van Loon asked White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel if he'd remembered to vote absentee in the 5th Congressional District special election today.  Van Loon broadcasted the answer on Twitter:

I jokingly asked Rahm if he sent in his absentee ballot to vote for Quigley. He paused and said, "I f***ed up!"

If you live in IL-5, don't be like Rahm.  The polls are open until 7 p.m. tonight and you can find your polling place here if you live in the city and here if you live in the suburbs.
