AG Madigan wishes Governor Quinn luck in fronh of the large blue truck under which she had just heaved her father.

After dropping 2 of 3 thumb wrestling matches to Quinn, Lisa Madigan makes good on her wager and declines to run for Governor.

And may I say how very lovely you look today Mrs. Cleaver.

Governor Quinn says to Lisa Madigan, “And you are?”
I know, you didn’t ask for a caption contest, but in case you do that’s my entry.
Seriously, I did notice she is in the group photo at Navistar much earlier in the day on Quinn’s facebook page. I am assuming she told him.

Pat Quinn dodges both a huge truck and a tiny steam roller.

Lisa thought bubble: I can’t believe this guy is going to be governor another 4 years.
Quinn thought bubble: I can’t believe I’m gonna be governor another 4 years.

Is he pondering how he can throw Lisa under one of those big trucks?

Man in gray suit applauds in encouragement as Quinn nearly succeeds in completing handshake.

Rich, I don’t know why my post was deleted. I thought the reference to the t-shirt and the video were fairly good analogies for how our primary races for statewide offices usually progress, thus representing the two very different designs behind the D and R approaches.

And, after all, just how often do opportunities to highlight Monster Truck Rally videos on CapFax arise?

“Don’t make any quick moves. ‘Squeezy’ is in the truck right behind us and I forgot to feed him this morning.”
Comment by Arthur Andersen Tuesday, Jul 16, 13 @ 10:54 am
Based on AA’s 10:54, I stand corrected. I was not informed that Squeezy had obtained an Illinois driver’s license and therefore failed to understand why the Monster trucks were in the background. I certainly would not want to interfere with the roll-out of the campaign to promote Monster trucks and Squeezy’s new capabilities.

Lisa Madigan (right) congratulates Pat Quinn (center) on his choice of a Lite Gov candidate (seen (sort of) waving from the driver’s seat of the big blue truck in the background).

Quinn: “It is the worst job in the world. Nobody loves you. You get blamed for everything. You have to take orders from your old man.Trust me,honey–you would hate this gig.”

Lisa Madigan, seeing red, but, it turns out, not because of Pat Quinn.
Comment by Amalia Tuesday, Jul 16, 13 @ 11:53 am
Lisa, how’s your old man doing ? I know he’s not getting paid. Let me know if he needs any help. I can probably float him 20 bucks or so.

Look at these guys. Time is not doing them any favors. I’ll outlive them all.
