Quote of the Day

"I probably shouldn't have dropped by the Cell to watch White Sox batting practice before sitting down to write this column on the Republican Party in Illinois...The White Sox, after all, are a big-league team. The Illinois GOP is not even Class AA. And as I stood on the third base line...it occurred to me that Republicans in this state may have to wait the way the Sox had to wait to clinch another pennant race.

Scratch that. The GOP may have to learn to live like the Cubs."

-Chicago Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin (LOVE her!), on the moribound state of the Illinois GOP.

It seems to me the national Republicans are headed in a similar direction.
