Chicago Tribune talks about two primary candidates and does not even mention Jack Franks from Crystal Lake.
Gov. Pat Quinn, elevated to the state's top job when Blagojevich was removed in January, individually thanked statewide Democrats who "believe in cooperation and collaboration," but snubbed his election rival, Comptroller Dan Hynes. Later, Quinn called Hynes a "shrinking violet" who avoids making tough decisions, such as Quinn's call for an income-tax hike.
Hynes said the governor's nomination "must be earned -- not bequeathed or assigned or transferred." He told reporters that voters "need a clean break from the past" and questioned why Quinn -- Blagojevich's former lieutenant governor -- had not reviewed 1,600 state Blagojevich hires making more than $70,000 a year.
