Obama gets Daley nod.

Obama will win in Cook county Illinois. He should carry enough state wide also. I think Hillbillary will be his running mate. She said today nothing is off the table in that regard. Oprah and Daley are huge for Obama. I hate to say this, but the Dems are due to win in November.

How much pull to you think Daley has on Cook county? As a former Cook County native (Wheeling and Schaumburg), I do not know about his pull outside the Chicago city limits.

However, I have been away for about 10 years.

Side note...I really miss Portillos.

Hehe, Rich Daley...now there's a true rocket scientist!

What was it, six or seven tries for him to pass the Illinois bar?

Unfortunately it doesn't take brains to be a politician just name and influence.
