“Vote early, vote often” is a quote variously attributed to three different Chicagoans: Al Capone, the famous gangster; Richard J. Daley, mayor from 1955 to 1976; and William Hale Thompson, mayor from 1915-1923 and 1931-1935. All three were notorious for their corruption and their manipulation of the democratic process. It is most likely that Thompson invented the phrase, and Capone and Daley later repeated it.
excellent. Never knew gangsterisms were your area of expertise ;)
Another possible source of quote confusion:
'Hey, what do you like, the leg or the wing, Henry? Or do you still go for the old hearts and lungs?' (Tommy DeVito--GoodFellas):
This is one of the major reasons why HRC chose NY as her launching pad for her political career. NY has surpassed Chicago as the unofficial "mob capital of the United States" for the last half century or so.
The Clinton-mob connection is merely a continuation of a pattern of a cozy relationship between organized crime and government - predominantly between organized crime and a number of Democratic big city machines - that has been going on now for more than a century. But in its partnership with the Clinton machine, organized crime has probably infiltrated higher into political circles than it ever has before.
