And as Rich points out, the web site is a miserable failure.
From Marin:
Giannoulias, 30, is the guy the party didn’t endorse but who won the March 21 primary anyway. And unless Illinois Dems are just awfully slow in updating their Web site, his absence suggests the continuing antagonism that arose from his candidacy. The chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party, House Speaker Michael Madigan, backed Knox County State’s Attorney Paul Mangieri instead.
“Unless the Illinois Dems are just awfully slwo in updating their website”
I’m actually quite happy they update the events section, but most of the site hasn’t changed in months. Nothing new since March at least and for some time I don’t think Obama or Bean were listed–like until later 2005.
I’m not sure Alexi is getting thrown under the bus, but the general expectation is he fell down in front of it and why bother at this point.
Arch, don’t fall for the hype.
Radogno’s questionable ties should be more troubling than anybody who has power to pull Alexi’s strings.
But there’s been an agreement between insider pols and insider media types to make a big deal out of Alexi’s bank doing business with bad people. Have they alleged anything illegal? Improper even?
Meanwhile Radogno’s ties to questionable characters who do pull her strings gets ignored.
It’s insiders taking care of insiders plus a dose of laziness.
