In a dog bites man story, Illinois House Speaker and Chair of the Illinois Democratic Party endorses Dan Hynes. Coming from the South Side of Chicago with Dan’s father, Thomas, this is unsurprising.
In the category of organization is tough to beat, the tagline in the endorsement from the campaign says:
The Democratic Party of Illinois State Central Committee is not expected to endorse in the March primary. Madigan serves as the chair of the central committee. In addition to Speaker Madigan, Hynes has received the endorsement of 85 of the state?s 102 Democratic County Chairman and over 600 elected officials and party leaders at all levels of government.
Dan Hynes is in a tough fight, especially with the IFT endorsement of Obama which reverberates through the field, but organization means he’ll be in it to the end.
