Pretty ugly from this quote from Pete Giangreco:
Pete Giangreco, campaign consultant to Blagojevich “in case he decides to run,” said Blagojevich is focused on governing and not on his potential Republican opponent next year. But Giangreco gave a hint of what the Democrat’s strategy might be against either of the most prominent Republicans, attempting to tie them to fellow Republicans George Ryan and Tom DeLay, the controversial U.S. House Majority Leader.
“Topinka … was first mate on the Titanic” as treasurer when Ryan was governor, Giangreco said. He chided LaHood as “a staunch defender of Tom DeLay.”
And on the Republican side, I think we can just put the phrase “chicago democrat” in the same category as lockbox in the 2000 Presidential election.
The difference is that Al Gore wasn’t stating facts in describing his ‘lockbox’. He was stating what his plans were.
The term ‘Chicago Democrat’ is an actual accurate description of the entire Slate of Statewide Democrats.
It’d be like calling me ‘White Suburban Nerd Blogger’.
If the shoe fits!
My preference, based on my experience with Blagojevich, is never again to vote for anyone who lives north of I-80.
