Pat Quinn: The Very Archetype of “Cheeky”
Poor Governor Quinn.
First sent to earth to fix a fiscal crisis in Illinois by calling it a
pension problem, not a resulting debt for decades of stiffing what was owed to
public workers.
That’s a challenge.
Now, he finds himself polling seriously behind a billionaire
opponent candidate with only vague visions of a “better business climate,” a devoted love of profitable charter schools, and foggy promises about real plans to be shared in the future. “We’ll get
right back to you on that.”
Certainly, that’s frustrating.
But Pat Quinn often operates like a Jack Horner, heaping
praise upon himself for legislation and political history quite outside of his
own doing…like SB1. That was the work of
Madigan, and now Pat, deep in a political corner, is calling out to his past
constituency to help him battle Rauner.
Past constituency like me.
Right now, Quinn is running about 80% behind Rauner in
donations for his gubernatorial campaign, so he’s reaching out to his past
electorate once again for assistance.
Are you kidding me, Pat?
You think you feel unappreciated? You ought to be a public sector retiree, or
worker, Pat.
I received your note this morning:
Friend,
Midnight tonight marks
the most critical fundraising deadline so far in this election.
It's a test of whether
a grassroots campaign built by people like you can compete with a handful of
billionaire donors.
Let's show them
what we can do:
Thank you for standing
with me in this fight.
Governor Quinn

I’ve got to admit, Pat, it’s a tough choice. You, the lesser of two evils; or Rauner,
trying to work his dark magic in a state where the real sorcerer will thwart
his every breath.
And, Pat, you know there are hundreds of thousands of us who
feel like I do.
One day, yes; the next day, no way ever.
As for your campaign, Pat?
Not a chance, not even a dime.
As for you? Like I
said, I sometimes waver, but I always feel unappreciated, Pat. Thanks for that.
Vote Green in November.
