Once again, the people are unhappy with their choices, when even the simplest research and paying attention would have saved them from this ass:
- Shortly after winning his first election as governor almost two years ago, Gov. Pat Quinn declared his razor-thin victory a "mandate" from voters, but a new Tribune/WGN-TV poll shows growing impatience with his stewardship of state government.
The Democratic governor's job approval rating stands at 26 percent. The survey found that dissatisfaction with Quinn extends across all age, income and ideological groups, the suburbs and especially Downstate. African-American and city voters narrowly approved of Quinn's job performance, but even then, support did not reach a majority.
The latest poll results could provide added impetus for other Democrats to consider challenging Quinn for governor in the 2014 primary, where filing begins in little more than a year. Only 4 in 10 respondents who say they are Democrats supported Quinn.
The problem isn't just Quinn - it's the entire Illinois political combine, dominated by democrats like Quinn, Madigan, Daley, etc. They can throw any moron in the big chair, but the calcified dinosaurs running the show are still going to hamstring the process and bastardize it to enrich their connected friends. The actual reformer-outisder doesn't have a chance. Look at the last three elections for Governor here. It's ridiculous.
