Far out! Illinois Democrats think they've dropped in on the big one (Bluenami!)
No longer content with electing a blue wave of Democrats on Tuesday, Illinois Democrats are starting to talk about a bluenami.
That was the prediction Friday of Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza as she joined governor candidate J.B. Pritzker and the rest of the Democrats statewide ticket in a show of unity.
She offered only one caveat.
On Tuesday were going to see a big beautiful wave crest in Illinois. Its going to be a blue one, and if you work hard enough, its going to be a bluenami. You heard it here first, gushed Mendoza, who apparently is so confident that she is perched safely atop the wave that she unwisely made a campaign video announcing her run for mayor a video that leaked out, prematurely, later Friday.
It is a measure of the troubles that Illinois Republicans face this year that Mendoza was probably correct in her calculation that it will take a lot more than that to wipe out her re-election chances.
