Chicago politicians are urging voters to send Representative Derrick Smith back to Springfield.  A coalition of West Side Democrats rallied yesterday, trying to garner support for the lawmaker who was indicted on charges of bribery last week.  U.S. Congressman Danny Davis led the way, claiming Smith has been charged but not convicted.  Look closely at the situation and you see the game behind the politics.  Democrats likely want Smith to win because he is the favored candidate of Speaker Michael Madigan.  Smith wins, Madigan likely asks him to resign because of the allegations, and then Democrats appoint someone else to the seat.  A win for Smith keeps primary challenger Tom Swiss from heading to Springfield.  Swiss is running as a Democrat but was once the executive director of the Cook County Republican Party.  Davis calls Swiss a quote “Republican in wolf’s clothing.” A Smith win keeps the Democratic Majority in control of who eventually serves the 10th District.
