and i'm so happy to see emanuel senior along with emanuel junior.o the entire family for the wonderful benefit will have. emanuel senior, i have to tell you this. gwyneth emanuel was a new member of congress, we asked him to speak as a freshman member, a meeting, a rally that we had turkey talk about you the whole time. he talked about how in church one day the minister was saying that, they took up the a collection and he said that money was tainted, was tainted, was tainted. and then finally, you know, the collectors bringing it up, and he said is tainted. it taint enough. [laughter] expect that was our introduction to emanuel cleaver. i needless to say did not do justice the way he told the story. but that was, if the world knew what you all new. and we suspect that we had a great leader in our midst, and he out to get the message across. we take such great pride in the cbc in the 40 years of its leadership in the congress, but i was reading that chairman conyers and chairman rangel, two charter members, founding members, thank you for your leade

turning to politics now and rahm emanuel's dilemma. he's the front-runner in the race for mayor of chicago, but a state appellate court ruled today he's ineligible for the job because he doesn't meet the residency requirement. dean reynolds reports emanuel is off the ballot-- at least for now. >> reporter: the former white house chief of staff and congressman from chicago tried to appear unruffled by the ruling and said he would appeal to the state supreme court. >> i have no doubt that we will in the end prevail at this effort. as my father always used to say, nothing's ever easy in life. >> reporter: but getting elected mayor was beginning to look easy for him. he raised more money and, according to polls, had as much voter support as all of his three main opponents combined. he had a chance to win an outright majority on february 22 and avoid a runoff on april 5. just last week, he received a big pat on the back. >> if you want the windy city to have a gale force of leadership, rahm emanuel is your mayor. >> reporter: but the court

even if rahm emanuel gets back on the ballot. does this open up the race a little more. >> absolutely. there is political damage that the emmanuel campaign has to worry about even if legally they prevail and they're on the ballot. what has happened is that rahm emanuel has run a very good campaign with his millions he's well funded. he has run a mini-presidential campaign focusing on 50 wards instead of 50 states. he's just overwhelmed his op igs. he's outorganized them and been very message driven, very much like a mini-presidential campaign. now everyone in chicago might know rahm and they know the other rivals, but there is a certain amount of fluidity in the race. this is a great chance for some of the candidates because what you want to do now in the race is at least come in number two on february 22. why they call it a primary in illinois, ray, it's non-partisan. if no one has more than 50% of the vote come february 22 the top two finishers face off april 5. so it's very much a race for second place and to keep rahm below 5

i'm happy to see emanuel senior along with emanuel junior, along with emanuel the third joining dianeul benefit that we will have. emanuel senior, i have to tell you this, when emanuel was a new member of congress, we asked him to speak as a freshman member at a meeting, at a rally that we had. he talked about you the whole time. he talked about how in church one day the minister was saying that the -- they took up the selection and he said that the money was tainted. go back. it was tainted. it was tainted. then finally the collectors bring it up. he said it's tainted. it taint enough. [applause] >> that was our introduction to emanuel cleaver. needless to say, did not do justice to the way he told the story. but that was when the world knew what you all knew and we suspected that we had a great leader in our midst. we ought to get the message across. i was reading -- and we take such great pride in the cbc and the 40 years of it's leadership in the congress. but i was reading that now we see chairman conyers and chairman ann -- rangel as the two charter remembers. founding members.

earlier today an appeals court ruled former white house chief of staff rahm emanuel, a candidate for mayor, does not meet the residence requirement to run for mayor. from emanuel, who's been the front-runner of the race, he spoke at a news conference earlier today. >> i have no doubt that we will in the end prevail at this effort. as my father used to say nothing's easy in life. so nothing's ever easy. this is just one turn in the road. >> rose: joining me from washington is lynn sweet. she is a washington bureau chief of the chicago "sun-times" and she knows chicago politics. so, lynn, what do we make of this? >> well, as rahm said today in chicago, his father said life is never easy. this is throwing the race up in the air, goes directly to the illinois supreme court. emanuel's campaign is going to push very hard to say we will prevail and they're going ask for states to let the ballots be printed with his name on it. but i think in the meantime this has thrown a monkey wrench for the people in chicago who have been watching this legal case, charlie, this is not a big surprise. the
