behind the scenes. Another Rauner disaster was forcing Madigan out into the open.

There are a lot of things I like about Madigan. There are other things I don't like. I try to discuss those in person, rather than airing them on a message board.

I will say this: Like Mayor Daley (the real Mayor Daley, not Richie), Madigan does not seem to have named a successor. This is not good. We do not need disarray while Democrats scramble for position.
