Illinois: Phelps files to override Quinn's amendatory veto of concealed carry bill.

5. Lisa, Daley and Quinn will split the Cook County and chicago primary vote

Maybe not in thirds, but split it none the less. In the last general election Quinn only won 3 counties out of 102, just enogh to get him in office with nothing to spare. If even a little of Cook County votes go away he's in big trouble.

Mike Madigan is always thinking 3 or 4 steps ahead of any issue. He's counting on a lot of support from the Downstate Dems for Lisa's campaign. That's why he made a deal with Brandon Phelps to support his amended CCW bill in the house and twisted Cullerton's arm behind the scene in the Senate.

Now Phelps will get his CCW bill and be a hero, Quinn will look like a weak weasel and Daley, now "supported by his good friend" Bloomberg, will quickly become less and less relevant and possibly just drop out.

Meanwhile ... Lisa sits back and does her crossword puzzle for today and keeps her hands clean of all this.

Quinn is deluded and actually thinks the majority of people think like he does, all gun owners are just thugs in waiting. Kind of like some folks here that can't tell the difference between a gang member shooting up a public park and a pharmacist from Bonfield that wants to protect his business and family. They're all the same to Quinn.
