bad face illinois life time
There comes a time in everyone's life where you have to face bad news. Illinois is at that point.

The problem is that people don't believe that there's no quid pro quo. We've seen too many stories... talking about 'pay to play,' and that's what this looks like.

illinois state together turn
We can turn this state around, working together to make Illinois a better place.
clearly commission crimes hate today
We clearly need a hate crimes commission but this commission today is dysfunctional and not working.

She talks about not taking money from contractors, (but) she's taken $600,000 from the banks she does business with. And she changed the policy. Prior to her becoming treasurer, the policy was no money from banks.

I think it's very easy to concede certain populations to the Democratic Party, but quite frankly, they believe as I do that it's important to have a two-party system here, and more importantly that I represent the future rather than the past.
attract create jobs leader vision
We need a leader who has a real vision to attract and create jobs.
associated crimes hate
I think it's inappropriate to have someone associated with that organization on a hate crimes commission.
absolutely days left silly
It is absolutely silly, but then, when you think about it, we've got two days left in the campaign--it is the silly season. And this is emblematic about that kind of behavior.
educate force strong work
I feel very strong that we need to do something to educate our work force.
