The governor said he “balanced four budgets in a row” and saw the state’s credit rating upgraded six times.
“We’re going to go block-by-block, house-by-house to elect the greatest governor in the history of Illinois, since (Abraham) Lincoln,” an enthusiastic State Rep. Marty Moylan (D-55th) told his hometown crowd.
…Adding… I forgot that somebody sent me the video last night…
I remember when Lincoln got over his skis (take a mental picture) anyway he got ahead of himself and never got the Democratic nomination for President. too bad he might have been good
And I am sure Marty supports full funding for education and no unfunded mandates. Otherwise he would not have such a full grasp of not only US, but Illinois history. than goodness for that lottery money.
and just when I thought the screaming to a crowd hall of fame—- that contains Neil Hartigan, Alan Dixon and Eddie Roswell—was over, here comes Marty….. Bonus points for him if his face got real red like those old days pols.

God I love Marty. One of the best. Just a good, good guy all around.

Sounds like Marty is already angling for a cabinet post if JB becomes president.

“Fired up” doesn’t even begin to describe him.

You know, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that JB is actually a better governor than Lincoln was.

Marty better be going block by block house by house for his own votes

Wish Marty had been my high school football coach.
Finished 1-9.

Marty, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Soccermom @5:43–I think you nailed it. Same loveable enthusiasm, no matter what he’s actually saying.

Marty should lay off the weed

What happened to the Democratic Party I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts? Me, I’m not taking it anymore.
