I think the more interesting thing about this race is that the Daley's declined to endorse a candidate.
Possible Reasons: Fallout from the recent confessions by Senator Roland "Tombstone" Burris? Fear that Judge Amy and Prosecutor Fitz have the phones tapped? Too busy getting their shovels ready for "shovel ready"?
Quigley has been a major irritant on the County Board so they are likely happy to see him go.
And longer term they can always try to submarine him when the national attention becomes a little less tense.
