Rich, I don’t know why my post was deleted. I thought the reference to the t-shirt and the video were fairly good analogies for how our primary races for statewide offices usually progress, thus representing the two very different designs behind the D and R approaches.
Based on AA’s 10:54, I stand corrected. I was not informed that Squeezy had obtained an Illinois driver’s license and therefore failed to understand why the Monster trucks were in the background. I certainly would not want to interfere with the roll-out of the campaign to promote Monster trucks and Squeezy’s new capabilities.
Lisa Madigan (right) congratulates Pat Quinn (center) on his choice of a Lite Gov candidate (seen (sort of) waving from the driver’s seat of the big blue truck in the background).
Quinn: “It is the worst job in the world. Nobody loves you. You get blamed for everything. You have to take orders from your old man.Trust me,honey–you would hate this gig.”
“Call your office and explain that you decided to spend the night at the Springfield Mansion of Gov. Pat Quinn…. as his guest…. there will be nothing left but our friendship….”

I know, you didn’t ask for a caption contest, but in case you do that’s my entry.
Seriously, I did notice she is in the group photo at Navistar much earlier in the day on Quinn’s facebook page. I am assuming she told him.
