IL GOP
Sunday, Jan 16, 2005 - Posted by Rich Miller I’m not sure if I agree with everything, but the Tribune has a very long story today about the Illinois GOP’s decline, tracing it all the way back to Richard Ogilvie. No Cook County patronage (after Ogilvie left his job as board president), a party too heavily dominated by a governor, the rise of the right wing, and much more. The party of Lincoln isn’t what it used to be. Long before the Alan Keyes election debacle, long before George Ryan’s troubles, the seeds for the party’s downfall were planted.
