  ==Old Man Daley, Kingmaker== Old Man Daley did not have a role outside Chicago? How about winning (some say stealing, with substantial evidence) the 1960 election for JFK? How about the 1968 Democratic convention/Police Riot, which likely caused the loss of the White House for the Dems, allowing Dick Nixon to win and leading to Watergate and the only resignation of a sitting President? It changed the course of world history. Perhaps 20,000 GIs and 1 million Vietnamese people died post-1968, and some of those corpses can be laid at Old Man Daley's feet, not to mention the 2 million dead form Pol Pot's genocide in Cambodia, which might not have happened if Nixon had not bombed Cambodia. Name another mayor in the history of the US with as much power when he was mayor.
