Democrats seek blessing of Republican house organ that is sure to endorse Erika Harold come the fall. Comic.

At 11:37am, Raoul looking pretty vulnerable; Ruiz clearly agitated by Raoul; Quinn and Fairley better than expected.

Fighting Trump is one thing, but it seems that Raoul, Ruiz and Fairley and Rotering seem to be the only ones that actually know how the office works. And you need to know how many attorneys work there.

Three comments tells me there’s not enough oxygen in the political universe for this race to generate much interest.

If Cap Fax readers aren’t tuned in, consider the interest level among the general public.

I agree, as usual, with Wordslinger. So which candidate does this help most? Quinn? Raoul?

Comment by DarkHorse Wednesday, Jan 24, 18 @ 12:29 pm
Which means it’s Quinn’s to lose, Word.

Which means say hello to nominee Pat Quinn

Kwame didn’t look that good today. I guess it probably doesn’t matter. But if he knocks off Quinn and the field by overwhelming them with PAC money goes up against Harold in the general, and is terrible in debates against her, i’m worried for my party’s sake.

Raoul at the 56:20 mark, responding to Katrina’s comment about how it might “look” bad to have a Democratic AG constantly fighting with Trump:

“It’s not because he’s Republican. It’s because he’s nuts.”
