I’m Never Going to Go Away.
- Curious Georgina - Tuesday, Apr 5, 16 @ 3:46 pm:
“If at first you don’t succeed, try and try and try and try again”
OR
“For the love of God, will someone, ANYONE, just pay attention to me?!?!?”

$5 says he breaks the cap at the earliest opportunity.
I’ve seen this movie before. I know how it ends.
- Chicago Cynic - Tuesday, Apr 5, 16 @ 3:47 pm:
Kelly: I’ll blow the cap so he doesn’t have to take the blame. (recall he blew the self-funding cap with $1 too much in the mayoral which gave the mayor the ability to raise unlimited funds. Still think that was the whole point of his running.
- Juice - Tuesday, Apr 5, 16 @ 3:47 pm:

I’m not Bruce Rauner, vulture capitalist.
I don’t have a carhatt jacket.
I don’t own 9 houses.
I am running for governor because I need the job.
I own a crappy car and a timex watch because I can’t afford anything better.

“William Kelly: Blow the caps, then quit!”
- Chicago Cynic - Tuesday, Apr 5, 16 @ 3:54 pm:
I’ve seen you and I together so I’m pretty sure we’re not the same person. Plus we have different houses and spouses…

I don’t have a business friendly agenda that will wreck the social safety net and destroy the higher education system.
