Evelyn, baby, let’s get on the stick and raise a few bucks.
And..no..you cannot sue somebody for a “slip n fall” to raise campaign cash.

I think the headline should have been RAUNER SPENDING BIG BUCKS!. His $5 million raised + $15 million sent is greater than Madigan’s $9.4 million on hand.

Aw, that was really nice Ole Slip and Sue was mentioned.
You have to wonder, when she got “hired”, she probably thought a job came with a check…

If Evelyn completed the necessary cow tipping in Springfield, maybe she’d have more money in her campaign fund.

Madigan’s total amounts to two phone calls from Brucie. One to Griffin, and one to Uhlein. Done.

In this case, a bird in the hand for Madigan is nowhere near the two in the bush for Rauner.

Rauner cash on hand is really in the 9-digits, let’s be honest.

Madigan has enough money to compete. I hope he has effective and targeted attacks.

Pat Quinn has almost half as much on hand as Mayor Emanuel: http://www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisclosure/D2Quarterly.aspx?id=4g2X6z3TmAZ9dQW1y%2fr6Rg%3d%3d

Why are they not using the LTG as a pass through yet?

How much does the Republicans have on hand?

Indeed the almighty $ is crucial. It’s also really important when, how and where you spend it. Not sure the Rauner group has all the angles figured out.
