* I’m hanging around outside the leaders’ meeting and figured I’d check my e-mail. This press release was in it…
Statement from Mayor Emanuel on State Budget
“As President Kennedy said, to govern is to choose. In the coming days will the governor choose to lead the state down the path to progress, or will he choose to drag the state further into financial demise? Will he continue his obstinance, opposing his own proposals, threatening vetoes of bills that meet 90% of his goals, promising vetoes of overwhelmingly bipartisan bills, and undercutting bipartisan budget agreements? Or will he chose to lead, to truly compromise, by making progress the goal instead of perfection? Will he put the interests of the people ahead of his own personal politics? Governor, it’s your choice. In five days we’ll all have your answer.”

Just stopping there… That’s really top shelf.
That’s really putting the onus on the governor, and the “90%” to close the loop on the thought, it’s a big league snippet there.

Emanuel slams Rauner: that’s plays to voters Emanuel needs, and helps Rauner with voters he needs.
Same deal when Rauner slams Emanuel.
It’s like a WWE bit.

I love the way a prominent Democrat describes leadership. Raise taxes on the working poor and middle classes. Tax services the working poor and middle class use. Tax cable and dish. What’s left to tax.
