Jesse Jackson Jr. boasts he could've beaten Daley for mayor in '07

Yeah, it's just one poll, but a survey by ABC 7 Chicago and the Daily Herald from late last month had Daley leading Jesse Jackson, Jr. by an overwhelming margin of 66% to 25%.

Yesterday, Jesse, Jr., the son of the famous civil rights leader, told the Chicago Sun-Times, "Of course I think I could beat Mayor Daley."

Meanwhile, in the shameful Chicago Democratic tradition of nepotism in running for elective office, Junior's wife is considering a run for a Chicago aldermanic seat next February.
