When you lie down with Jack Roeser and his funded enterprises you get the kind of garbage Petey is running on his Republicans for Family Values web site now. He’s attacking a suburban candidate and office holder for having an affair with two different men over the years. (no link–story mentioned by Capitol Fax). The […]
Hynes is up with African Americans 45-38, while Quinn is up amongst Hispanics 44-36. That’s interesting on both accounts. Obviously Tom Hynes’ campaign against Washington has been discussed to death, but Quinn has had a pretty rock relationship with Latino legislators. Amongst whites they are tied. Ideologically, Quinn is up only 44-40 amongst liberals […]
That’s obviously a dead heat, but it’s the first poll of the cycle with Hynes up. Quinn hasn’t had an effective response yet to the furlough program or the Washington ad so I have to imagine he’ll continue slipping. I couldn’t catch the debate from last night so I can’t analyze its impact, though one […]
I actually figured Pat Hughes would get about 1/3 of the primary vote kind of like Jim Edgar’s conservative opponents when he was running for Governor–including Jack Roeser himself. It appears I was giving Hughes too much credit as he’s sitting on 8 percent in the Trib poll. Even with Andy Martin running commercials calling […]
Held two press conferences. He didn’t even show up to one of them, though he didn’t use his time tested Sunday afternoon time slot for them.
Where do Illinois Members of Congress stand on passing the Senate Bill? Bean, Melissa IL-8 “not made a decision yet” Costello IL-12 Waiting for leadership Davis, Danny IL – 7 supports HCR but “hasn’t received marching orders from leadership” Gutierrez, Luis IL – 4 “Waiting to see what leadership does” Quigley IL – 5 […]
The Clerk–a person in charge of many records for Cook County, cannot fully account for the charitable contributions. What Dorothy Brown can account for isn’t much better: According to documents Brown’s staff provided, nearly $23,000 was spent last year from the employee appreciation fund, accumulated with jeans days’ contributions, to pay for an the annual […]
I’d have given you more attention, but given he’s toast with everyone lining up behind Murphy, it seemed kind of gratuitous. but bradcolesucks.com
Schillerstrom was doing worse. The bad news, Schillerstrom dropped out. All those promises Dan made… In addition to Hynes’ attack ads, Quinn also has been targeted by McKenna, the most prolific advertiser on the Republican side. McKenna’s ad blitz helped him achieve support from 19 percent of Republican voters compared to 18 percent for […]
And the momentum is Dan Hynes’ Among Democrats, Quinn’s better than 2-to-1 lead over Hynes in a Tribune survey six weeks ago has evaporated amid concerns about the unelected incumbent’s ability to handle the job. The poll of 601 likely Democratic voters showed Quinn with 44 percent and Hynes with 40 percent — within the […]
It’s really hard to imagine how Washington D.C. makes you stupid enough to think that any sort of alternative goes anywhere without having the Senate bill form the basic framework. We can fix all sorts of things through reconciliation or other vehicles, but splitting bills up won’t work — it simply increases the number of […]
Watching Dorothy Brown implode with a stream of stories about gifts to her and donations raised from her employees for both personal and political purposes, it’s not that amazing that she does it, it’s amazing that if she is going to be essentially ‘legally’ corrupt, she goes for such small potatoes: Brown, who’s seeking a […]
You got all angry at Andy Martin for claiming there is a rumor that Mark Kirk is gay, but yet, you haven’t said anything about the continuing effort by Jack Roeser and his minions to make that a public issue. Brady distanced the party from Andy Martin in December. But that hasn’t stopped Roeser who […]
The Champion (Jack Roeser’s vanity project) has an article up on Scott Brown and how he is like Patrick Hughes: Pro-Life. Err…someone had better tell that to Scott Brown
