  1. –”So why is Madigan, this incredibly powerful man, wrecking the state?” –

    Because he has to “win” and beat Rauner … at any cost. Period. #Fact

  2. Where can I find the full interview?

  3. - Deft Wing -

    A governor with NO signed budget wrecks states.

    A governor with NO funding for Higher Ed wrecks state universities.

    A governor with NO funding of Social Services wrecks Illinois’ safety net.

    Do keep up, it’s been like that since… forever.

    To the Post,

    It’s good, but it’s still the defensive discussion instead of the offensive argument, and Rauner making the argument about perceived weakness while Madigan refuses to make it about positive accomplishments… Rich is on this.

    This is good, but there needs to be better… the pushback can’t just be about standing the ground and look at them, it needs to move more to, “We’ve done this” and take the bipartisan positives out for a spin.

    Respectfully.

  12. I will try and catch more if I see the ad again. :) It was definitely not an ad saying nice things about Democrats. Something about them talking about Federal issues in state races.

  13. – Was it a Proft ad? lol –

    Don’t recall but the earlier comment is right, there is an ad with a pullout blown up quote from this site. Saw it this a.m. I think it was a legislative race and against a Democratic candidate hitting their opponent on Medicare and Social Security when they are federal programs.
