Sen. Dick Durbin, who played a major role in the election of Barack Obama and is a known backer of Chicago Mayor-elect Rahm Emmanuel is prominently backing Sheila Stocks-Smith for Springfield’s mayor.
Durbin is a major part of the “Chicago way” or machine. The same Chicago machine that has bankrupted the nation, Cook County, Chicago and Illinois by extreme tax-and-spend policies, while denying citizens liberty by massive overregulation.

The critics and the Oscars took two different, distinct paths. Time will have decide who was the better for it.
