Anyone who thinks Rauner is going to be the next Scott Walker and take on the unions is sadly mistaken. Rauner is going to be more like Schwarznegger. He's going to cave and compromise with Madigan's Democrats on budget gimmicks, which will then be blamed on him when the crap really hits the fan.

What should be happening is that Madigan (and his daughter) get removed from power. He is actually the most powerful Democrat in the country right now.

“Rauner is going to be more like Schwarznegger.”

You mean he’s been screwing his Mexican maid and she’s pregnant?

Lisa Madigan has done a good job as AG. She’s not the natural spawn of the execrable Michael Madigan and was only formally adopted when she was in her 20s. The worst she’s done is trade on his name recognition but she also was the first to file suit to remove Blago from office and has turned down chances to run for Senate or Governor in order to stay in her job as attorney general.

I can’t use the language to properly describe Michael Madigan on FR but she is not her step-father. Fair is fair.
