Awake Illinois piles on, releases 2021 video of Vallas saying group leader should run for governor
Friday, Feb 10, 2023 - Posted by Rich Miller * Yikes…
“After listening to Shannon Adcock’s speech, I think she should run for governor,” Vallas says in the video. * As noted in the tweet, this was a different event than the June, 2022 conference Vallas did with the group which brought his association to light. His protestations last year that he knew little about the group before the conference are a little tough to believe. So why today’s tweet? Well, the group got kinda bent out of shape after Vallas threw them under the bus. Stuff happens.

I wish you allowed GIF posting, because I need to post the Jon Stewart-eating-popcorn GIF right now so, so badly.

Palos Heights and Chicago.
Being a true Democrat and courting the COVID and groomer conspiracists.
Sometimes, you simply cannot have it both ways.

===4) Be ready to answer your own OR by extensively know and understand your own OR===
Vallas either will be ready now that “man bites dog” kind of turn is now happening… or Vallas walked into his own OR thinking he can ignore the folks that he’s turning on “because politics”
Vallas is turning on his “silent base”, now they ain’t so silent when one tries to distance an actual relationship
“We’ll see”

Paul, com ‘on down to opposite land MO. They’d love you here. You certainly aren’t qualified to run a city like Chicago.

The dumps on Vallas late in the game tells me he is running away with it right now… we shall see in a few weeks if it holds.

===dumps on Vallas late in the game tells me===
Yes, because Awake Illinois is closely working with the lefty mayoral candidates. Right.
- Homebody - Friday, Feb 10, 23 @ 2:19 pm:
Vallas has been telling us who he is for years. Not sure how people are acting surprised by this.

I’m shaking. She’s a SWsuburbs gal so I was trying to triangulate old connects months ago when I was looking at AWAKE. she is awful. they are awful. Paul Vallas, what a shape shifter. jeez.

also always quote Marianne Dashwood, what else what else? and as Rich has written OG Goldmine.

Will the real Paul Vallas please stand up?…then sit back down.

While that’s kind of what I was getting at earlier, Awake IL has no interest in helping LL, Chuy, Johnson, etc.
Better to say that Vallas seems extremely likely to get to the runoff, and you only need about 20% for that.

Can we all just agree that this is very funny?
- Northsider - Friday, Feb 10, 23 @ 2:51 pm:
Chuy’s phoning it in, Palos Paul, Kam Buckner doesn’t stand a chance and the rest are at best irrelevant. My God, will I have to vote for Mayor Lightfoot after all?
- Demoralized - Friday, Feb 10, 23 @ 2:52 pm:
I would tie Vallas’s neck around Awake as tight as I could and remind the voters in Chicago how the guy has been buddy buddy with a bunch of hatemongers.

Seems like lying is his go-to move.

It really, really is.

There are a couple of good aldermen in this race that are worth looking at. Hardly irrelevant.

I can’t land the semaphore joke I want to make involving the mounting pile of red flags in front of Vallas.
- Stormsw7706 - Friday, Feb 10, 23 @ 3:48 pm:
I used to have some respect for Vallas. This association with Adcock would be an absolute deal breaker for me if I lived in the Windy City
- Pundent - Friday, Feb 10, 23 @ 4:00 pm:
Paul Vallas knew exactly who Awake Illinois is. He opportunistically aligned himself with the organization. And then when it no longer served his purpose he threw them under the bus. He used them. It follows a pattern. And they don’t like it.
