Union PAC returns to airwaves with anti-Rauner ad
Tuesday, Sep 23, 2014 - Posted by Rich Miller * After over a month off the airwaves, the DGA and union-backed Illinois Freedom PAC is back in the game with a new TV ad. Rate it… * Script…
Subscribers may recall a piece I did the other day about the level of expected DGA involvement from here on out. That would be, at least partially, this ad and others that could follow. * Meanwhile, reporters aggressively attempted to get answers out of Bruce Rauner today on the nursing home scandal. They didn’t have much luck… …Adding… Check out the look on Gov. Chris Christie’s face when Tribune reporter Rick Pearson points out that he is under federal investigation. Priceless. It starts at about the 2:10 mark. …Adding More… From the Quinn campaign…
* Also, I neglected to post Second City’s parody ad of Gov. Quinn… * The comedy troupe also has a new Rauner parody ad…

*** UPDATED x1 - 2010 AP “fact check” *** Everything old is new again
Tuesday, Sep 23, 2014 - Posted by Rich Miller * Almost exactly four years ago, Bill Brady’s campaign began running this TV ad against Gov. Pat Quinn about the administration’s botched early release program… Here’s Pat Quinn’s response at the time… * Fast forward to this past weekend. Bruce Rauner’s campaign unleashed a fresh hit on early release… Quinn’s new response ad is nearly identical to his 2010 response, including the closing photo. Watch… * Meanwhile, the Quinn campaign wants you to know about this press release that I didn’t post over the weekend…
The very long list of those who signed the letter is here. *** UPDATE *** The Rauner campaign sent along this October 13, 2010 AP “fact check” on the Brady and Quinn ads…
Since Quinn’s new ad is nearly identical to the old one, it’s pretty easy to fact check it.
