Emptying out my in-box

* There are some Quinn TV and Internet ads out there which I don’t think we’ve discussed yet. For instance, “Task”…
* “Education”…
* Here’s a new web ad which uses the voice of former Sen. Kirk Dillard called “Bruce Rauner’s world view: ‘I’ve got the money, I’ve got the power’”…
* This one is labeled as a TV ad on the YouTube page, but as a web-only ad in a press release: “Bruce Rauner ‘Tax Plan’”…
* And here’s the Spanish language version of the campaign’s “HomeBanc” ad called “Casa”…
* Meanwhile…
President Barack Obama is planning to return home to Chicago’s South Side on Sunday for a get-out-the-vote rally focused on supporting Gov. Pat Quinn, an Illinois congressman said Tuesday.
Rep. Danny Davis, a Chicago Democrat, said the Quinn campaign reached out to him Monday night to ask about distributing tickets for the event. Davis said the venue had not been chosen at that time but would be at an indoor location on the South Side.
“I understand that it’s primarily for Pat Quinn,” Davis said of the rally.
“I think the president is obviously interested in helping to get the vote out for Democrats and I think it would certainly be desirable to have him come,” added Davis, who said he planned to attend the rally and expected other Democratic members of Congress to turn out.

Tax raisers of the world unite! Take that Bruce Rauner.

Just as an FYI, not as a promo for Rauner, is his latest e-mail. Just, again, an FYI.
Friend,
Wow! Pat Quinn is PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS. We just learned that Vice President Joe Biden is coming to Chicago next week to help Pat Quinn. And he’s coming 48 hours after President Obama’s second visit!
Can you believe it? Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Barack Obama TWICE. I’ve never seen the national Democratic Party scramble quite like this.
Pat Quinn’s on the ropes and he’s hoping Barack Obama and Joe Biden can save him from going down. Will you help us fight back against Pat Quinn’s Obama-Biden-Clinton fundraising machine by making a contribution of $10, $25, $100, $250 or even $500 online right now?
The independent news sources are lining up behind Bruce Rauner to Shake Up Springfield and Bring Back Illinois. Let’s look at the score:
• Chicago Tribune endorses Rauner over Quinn
• Daily Herald endorses Rauner over Quinn
• Crain’s Chicago Business endorses Rauner over Quinn
• Shaw Newspapers endorse Rauner over Quinn
Why is everyone endorsing Rauner over Quinn? Because Pat Quinn plans to raise our income taxes right after the election – and everyone knows we can’t afford four more years of Pat Quinn.
Now is the time to stand up for Illinois and support Bruce. A massive income tax hike could be just around the corner if we don’t win this election. Will you stop Pat Quinn’s lame duck tax hike by contributing $10, $25, $100, $250 or even $500 online right now?
If you sit on the sidelines, the Obama-Biden-Clinton fundraising machine will help Pat Quinn make his 67% tax hike permanent. Or you can go online RIGHT NOW and stop Pat Quinn from raising your taxes in just over three weeks.
It’s up to you…
…can Bruce count on you?

I get these Rauner e-mails every day. Never once contributed to the guy, routinely criticize him and rarely make any political contributions. No idea how they found me

The Quinn spots are good. Probably explains how a dude with an upside down approval rating can be leading in the home stretch.

The I’ve got the money ad is well done. Creepy, man!
- Dirty Red - Tuesday, Oct 14, 14 @ 9:59 pm:
New Quinn media has certainly earned their fee.

Money - power - influence. Dang. 3 things many voters despise most about politics. Rauner is brazen to brag about having all three. Reminds me of the .01 percent comment. Undoubtedly true but why would you say that about yourself? It just screams “out of touch billionaire” …
