[Robbien]

Not a machine Dem. Not a Blue Dog Dem. But a Progressive!!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:


Local news just called the Democratic primary and Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley is the projected winner. Not only did a progressive win, the top two vote getters were progressives; Quigley and labor lawyer Tom Geoghegan.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:


Usually in the 5th District, the winner of the Democratic primary is the winner in the final election. The GOPer race has not been called yet.


There were TWELVE Dems running for this seat in this primary!

The seat has become a springboard for putting Democrats on the fast track to party prominence.

12. #1. Rahm had a progressive liberal voting record #2. ALL elected Democrats are part of the "machine"

no matter how much you like to spin fairy tales.

Good luck to him.
