Julia, who exactly did you call to set up this very happy get-together?

I thought Mapes had given her the talk already. Why am I hearing this ‘independent voice, voting her conscience on behalf of the community’ rhetoric.

Isn’t there still an election in November before she becomes the State Rep of the 5th?

I thought you said the governor would be here.
Comment by Bruce (no not him) Friday, Mar 25, 16 @ 10:55 am
Perhaps the Governor would like to join this group to discuss compromises?
Five million dollars spent and not enough left over to buy me an apple?
We’d like to thank Mr. Dunkin and Mr. Gonzalez for their willingness to put themselves before the voters. Without such acts of selflessness, our democracy would fail.

When I agreed to have lunch with Stratton, I forgot he wasn’t the governor anymore.
Comment by Michelle Flaherty Friday, Mar 25, 16 @ 10:56 am
Ah, ha, ha, my secret, decades-long plan to install my daughter as governor is proceeding nicely and no one suspects!

“Well, when I was married I was known as Juliana Dunkin-Stratton. Mr Speaker? That was a just a joke sir…”
Comment by Cubs in '16 Friday, Mar 25, 16 @ 10:59 am
Future Speaker shares table with current Speaker. Juliana is genuinely impressive and a class-act. Voters traded in their Yugo for a Rolls-Royce.

I’m going to have to speak with staff about why she got 68% and I got 65%.

House Speaker Mike Madigan Hum’s the Imperial March in his head, as Juliana Stratton ponders a tax increase.

Who put this piece of paper asking for a meeting with Rauner in front of my seat?!

Madigan, “I’ll just have the dessert …”
(inaudible)
Madigan, “Cold, of course.”

We have no involvement in that lunch.

47th Ward takes a perhaps insurmountable lead!
First time for everything. Heh…

Hey Juliana, who did you call to arrange this meeting with the speaker?
Asking for a friend.

I’ve been sitting here trying to reach that bar… well played.

Comment by Tired Friday, Mar 25, 16 @ 11:43 am
Yes, I’ll repeat the question: what does the face of a Democratic leader who has just been forced to spend a million dollars to win an African-American district in Chicago look like?

MJM: “Julia- moderation, not the extreme. Cooperatively and professionally, not name calling. Budget items, not idea’s unrelated to budget.”
Julia: Yep…..I get it. What’s the holdup?
Comment by dude Friday, Mar 25, 16 @ 12:37 pm
Julia: So what’s the soonest I can vote for you?
Comment by A guy Friday, Mar 25, 16 @ 12:38 pm
Stratton: Thank you for the question. Let me check with the Speaker and get back to you.
Speaker: You’ll make a fine leader in the Illinois House.

Not pictured to the left of the picture: Barack Obama. The Speaker and POTUS can’t be seen to close together.

Speaker upset that his lunch cannoli was mistakenly left in car with the corpse of Dunkin’s political career. Stratton explains, “I thought you told me to take gun and leave the cannoli…”

Madigan = progress??? What’s this twitter’s definition of progress? no budget, large deficits, inability to pay bills and pension payments???
