3. A lot of the Rauner propaganda
Thu Apr 26, 2018, 05:18 AM

has left a mark on Madigan. Before Rauner, Madigan's name was not a household word. We Democrats who are activists know about him, but he delegates well and does his work behind the scenes. He is truly powerful.

Rauner did everything he could to blacken Madigan's name. And I have noticed that a lot of the newer activists have bought into the right wing propaganda. They think Madigan is a bad guy who needs to resign. Most of them don't know much about politics. And it did not help that Biss was badmouthing Madigan when he ran in the governor's primary. I did not like Biss at all. We had two very rich guys, Pritzker and Kennedy, running in the primary. Yet I found Biss to be the phony, limousine liberal type.

What I would like to know is what Lisa Madigan is up to. Why did she choose not to run again?
