his own party. In 76 Dan Walker was primaried by the Chicago Machine. We got the Big Chump Thompson and his Bilk Illinois programs as a result.

The Democrats did Poshard in, because of 2 issues: his being personally 'pro-life' and being a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Although he repeatedly said that he would support the law of the land (Roe v. Wade and the Brady Bill, e.g.), despite his personal beliefs, many Dems either chose to stay home or supported Ryan. Furthermore, let's not forget that Poshard was also the first person to publicly state that Ryan had committed the crimes which would eventually land him in prison.

Some times, being Cassandra is no fun.

I am afraid the same thing would happen to Bernie Sanders.

anything is possible.

last night reported there was a push to try and get Quinn to run against Rahm for mayor. Oh would I love to see that weasel Rahm ousted by Quinn.

I think she had a chance. rahm has too much money. Even though he is extremely unpopular he can spread all the lies he wants with that money.

Quinn was never very popular when he governed like rahm. But, now he is seen as a loser.

I can't vote for him in the city, but I would contribute to his campaign.

If ever a candidate was unjustly trashed, Pat Quinn was! He's done a fine job as Governor of Illinois, and I bet he would do a fine job as Mayor of Chicago!

A state gov with an investment banking background !
All I$ good now!

No honest Types to get in the way of deals
And Madigan loves deals too

My first question was how did they get board of election private information?
If those home phone numbers were to remain private with the Boe,each judge should sue the boe for leaking that info and not keeping their status as a judge private. That will result in a real investigation if they have to prove it was not handed over at the top by a mucky muck
If there isno possible loss to them I doubt much will be followed through on the dirty tricks
Yes big hit to dem voters in the city look at the stations targeted

When I was county chairman here, I had a list of all the Democratic election judges. The county clerk gave it to me. There was no prohibition about sharing it. Many people had that list.

All of our voting information is available from the county clerk. Any precinct committeeman can get a list of his or her registered voters. The list shows who voted, how they voted if they voted in a primary. Addresses and phone numbers are included.

The Vote Builder software that we use for phone banking and for precinct walking has all of that information, too.
