Rauner-friend Rahm: "Bruce Rauner hasn’t even gotten to Springfield, and he’s already acting like a career politician who plays politics with people’s pensions and livelihood."

Pat Quinn is now in hot water over some racist Tweets he made:

Quinn will not run for re-election...in 2018

Quinn has spent a 40-year career in politics running as an outsider, even though he has held a number of elected offices and other political positions. He championed term limits 20 years ago, but was unsuccessful getting the question on the ballot. Now there's a GOP outsider running for Gov who's never held elective office and has made term limits a key part of his campaign against "career politicians." Quinn is in a box on this issue.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Term limits was an issue for him to win over GOP primary voters. Voters are more obsessed with Mike Madigan and the state legislature having term limits due to its low approval.

Rauner doesn't want to raise the min wage. And he had a hard time winning the voters that were attracted to Dillard. Being a multimillionaire being against unions isn't such a good idea. The Rauner surge is over. He is leading between 4-7 pts, the same margin Quinn came back from against Brady.

We'll see how this stuff goes over with the voters. Rauner and his staff sure seem to enjoy it.

The irony is that Quinn did pretty much the [img=http://www3.illinois.gov/PressReleases/ShowPressRelease.cfm?SubjectID=2&RecNum=7494]http://same thing[/img] when he first became Gov to clean up from Blago. Before that Blago campaigned on (2002) and passed (2003) sweeping ethics laws in response to the George Ryan scandal, not that Blago followed them.
