63. You want to debate, heres your debate (as each give each other the finger)

    Comment by the ole precinct captain Wednesday, Oct 11, 06 @ 5:28 am

64. Rod: Can you believe that Mike Madigan was actually concerned that the Democrat Party was doing the Illinois voters a disservice by having me run for re-election? He wanted Pat Quinn or someone else to run instead! Unbelievable!

    Judy: After all of the babies that we have had to kiss and the all of the hands that we were forced to shake, there was no way I was going to let Andy McKenna run a candidate with less name recognition than myself. What is it with these Party leaders? It is all about “retaining power”. Don’t they get it, Rod?
