Obamaland: Emmanuel Cheating again In The Land Of FIBs

From the Chicago Tribune: Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office has extended to Monday the deadline to apply to succeed former 7th Ward Ald. Sandi Jackson.
The administration initially sent out a news release Friday afternoon saying it had received completed applications from 42 people by a 5 p.m. deadline.
This evening, mayoral spokesman Tom Alexander said the deadline would be extended to 5 p.m. Monday after the city's web site experienced "some technical difficulties" and was offline for a "brief period of time."
At any rate, the mayor's office did not release the names of those who already have applied. Emanuel will "soon" name a four-person panel with community representatives to vet the applicants and present him with a list of finalists, the administration said.
Emanuel hopes to pick Sandi Jackson's replacement by mid-February. Ald. Jackson was 20 months into her second term when she resigned earlier this month as controversy continued to swirl around her husband, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. He resigned shortly after his November re-election, citing his bipolar depression and acknowledging federal ethics probes into his use of campaign funds.

Oh, yeah, the old computer malfunction problem.
But 42 people still were able to apply, despite computer problems.  I guess Emmanuel is looking for someone specific who has not applied for the job.
