Reply #35: Madigan does have a stranglehold on Illinois politics [View All]

Here's an example. I know a guy who ran downstate in an area that leans Republican. He was running for Illinois House. The internal and few external polling that existed kept getting better and better for my friend the Democrat. So Madigan pulled money out of his race and gave it to someone else who didn't have a chance in hell. Later an insider told him that Madigan pulled money from my friend's campaign because Madigan didn't want him to win. If my friend won, the Democratic power in the House would be too high, thus causing a potential backlash by the voters across the state against Democratic house members. "A Clean the House" campaign if you will would occur against us. I guess I see the logic in it, but it's very odd and guess work at best that people would revolt at the booths.
