And with that many newcomers might the writing be on the wall for madigan? Probably not but one can hope.

 

I do too !! AND, it turns out his adopted daughter, Lisa (the AG) is not going to run either!! :frantics:

 

I wonder if they believe that state financial collapse is imminent and don't want want that to happen on their watch.

 

Of course not. Why should the "rats" that caused this debacle stick around for the disaster they caused? :headbang1:

 

They want to avoid the pitchforks and torches.

 

:drool: :devil: :clap: I got matches !!
