illinois is still struggling from the legacy of republican governors after 8 years of dems (or 4 years of loony and 4 years of dems. we have a few bad apples, too.).
that legacy, unfortunately, includes a dem that should be gone but isnt- mike madigan.
those thugs were such perfect foils for him, and sometimes fools for him, that they made a midget into a giant. (ritchie daley, you too. i have many good things to say about the man, but he let WAY too much slide out of battle weariness.)

now pat quinn and rahm emanual get to make all the hard choices. and take the flak.
from dems
