CBS 2 CHICAGO ^ | 15 JULY 2016 | CRAIG DELLIMORE

(CBS) – Indiana Gov. Mike Pence was raised in the Hoosier state, but he says he has a strong, personal connection to Chicago.

WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore reports from the Loop.

Pence says his grandfather emigrated to the U.S. from Ireland in 1923 and came to Chicago, where he drove a bus for 40 years.

In a speech to the City Club of Chicago in December 2014, he said his parents grew up on the South Side.

Re bill. He didn’t at the time finger the legislature and he’s not going to do it now. The Buck stops at the top. ( who said that? Truman?) The Buck stops here!

post #30 ~ A self-described “political independent” and a “social liberal”, Mike Pence’s youngest daughter, Audrey, age 21, is majoring in “international affairs” in Northeastern University, is into Arabic, votes a split ticket, and, of course, wants to get “into Journalism”.

Don’t they all?

A quote from Søren Aabye Kierkegaard : “No profession is lower in the eyes of God than ‘journalist.”

Rauner has held his ground on the budget. That’s all I expected of him and much better than nothing. Quinn would given us a huge tax hike.

I copied the fact down but wasn’t aware of it. Trump will have a good person to help get our economy and budget back on the right tract.

It would benefit Audrey to spend quality time with Trump daughters Ivanka and Tiffany.

Thanks Jane. Want to make sure NIk sees it and we get the list pinged.
Was so proud of him. He has matured so much from when I listened to him at any length in the past. Trump has made a wise choice.

Would love to see her get the opportunity to intern with KT McFarland. She is such a well rounded person

Do you think that Pence’s Chicago ties help his ticket win Illinois? I think Clinton will win 56%, in IL.

I assume the Chicago Mob can produce whatever numbers are needed to win.

Caliph Baraq was +17 in Illinois in 2012.

Hillary is certain to win IL. She was hatched here though I don’t think that makes much of a difference, and certainly Pence’s parents being from here won’t either.

Kirk says Trump will get under 30% in IL, Trump says he’ll carry the state but Kirk will lose. Both of those predictions are ridiculous.

I’d say your 56% for Shillery is about right. She’s not gonna do better than Obama did in 2008 when he topped 60%, the first rat POTUS nominee ever to do so in IL.

Kirk’s 30% comment made me think he picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.
