Chicago Hype Exchange Add commentsThis week’s biggest gainers:
1
Rahm Emanuel
The city’s daily newspapers both inked their mayoral endorsements for the Rahmrod.

4
Gery Chico
Rahm may have the newspapers, but Chico’s looking to be organized labor’s love, with a slew of new endorsements.

Richard Daley
What, me worry? The mayor kept a low profile during the worst of the blizzard, allowing his staff to fall on their swords for the inevitable mishaps.
This week’s biggest losers:
1
Raymond Orozco
With his boss hiding out, Mayor Daley’s chief of staff took the fall for the Lake Shore No Drive during the blizzard.
2
Al Sanchez
Former Streets and San honcho got two-and-a-half years in the slammer while his successor got two feet of snow.
3
Andrew Mason
Groupon honcho’s Super Bowl ad debut took heat for trivializing Tibet. Because those Go Daddy and Doritos ads exhibit true social consciousness.
4
Thomas Byrne
There is no more thankless job on the planet than head of Streets and San during a Chicago blizzard.
5
Carlos Boozer
Dang, not even the All-Star bench?
