Illinois College Republicans Latest: Get To Know #Quinnocchio

The Illinois College Republicans have done it again:  They've managed to pull together some devastating copy and hilarious images to tell a story voters in Illinois need to see.  Over on BuzzFeed, their latest piece starts thusly:

Once upon a time in a little village called Chicago there is a man named Quinnocchio also known by the name Pat Quinn. He is the governor of a state called Illinois. He became the governor after a man called Blagojevich was thrown into jail after trying to sell a Senate seat. Quinnocchio made many promises to the fine people of Illinois. He promised to not be corrupt like governors of Illinois’ past, to create jobs, to only temporarily raise taxes, and to improve education. We soon found out these were all lies.

"And...Introducing Mike Madigan As Geppetto"

The Bruce Rauner campaign's latest video takes the form of a movie trailer for the feature: Quinnocchio .  In a quick 1:04, they introduce the entire cast of characters and tease even more coming soon.  Check it out in the player below.

Do You Know This Quinnocchio Bully?

Lance Trover over on Twitter is asking if anyone knows this guy who (allegedly) tore up the anti-Pat Quinn sign.

Let the witch hunt commence!

Pat Quinn Meet "Quinnocchio"

Over on Facebook, Bruce Rauner has posted this (small) photo.  We are displaying it bigger so it is grainy.  It appears to be a 'character' holding a hand-made sign outside of a Chicago elementary school that is "welcoming" Illinois Governor Pat Quinn.

The guy is holding a sign that says:  "Quinnocchio.  I Lied About Your Taxes".

Clever stuff.

Think Rauner is going to keep Quinnocchio alive through the campaign?  We'd love that.  There should be a Mike Frerichs alter-ego, too?  Bernie FrerichsOff?
