2. I have never seen anything like those commercials.

They are shocking.

I know that most people, across the country, not just in Illinois, are sick of commercials by the time election season is over. They are all saying, "Good riddance to that." They get tired of the phone calls and polls, too. Maybe most citizens will be turned off by the commercials, and turned off by Ruiner.

When you stop to think about it, most people don't know much about Madigan. They know the name, but they may be more familiar with Lisa than her father. He does his thing out of the limelight. He held a news conference last week, and it was carefully managed, like everything he does. He said only what he wanted, and invited only friendly people. But he is not someone who does news conferences!

I am sure Madigan has the next move planned. I will be surprised if he answers with TV ads. That is not his style. And he would not spend money on it, the way Ruiner is doing.

Madigan plays a long game. But Ruiner might just be stupid. He has to be. Everyone saw what happened to Blagojevich.

I can't wait to see Ruiner fall.
