Who wins?

Rahm: 81%
Napolitano: 19%

Rahm wins 49 wards in an utter curb-stomping. Widespread puzzlement among city political observers as to why Napolitano abandoned his cushy job as an Alderman for a no-hope mayoral bid.

That said, this would never happen. Chicago has a nonpartisan primary election before the general and will always send two Democrats to a general.

We don't have those. Napolitano wins his ward (the 41st), but other than that...

Your absolute best-case Rahm runs to the far left scenario is three wards: the 41st, the 38th (also on the far northwest side), and the 19th (southwest side).
