Bill Clinton leads "unenthusiastic" Chicago get-out-the-vote rally

The situation for the Democrats is worse than I thought. WLS-AM explains why:

Former President Bill Clinton's 'get out the vote' rally for Democrats at a downtown Chicago hotel was the most unenthusiastic WLS veteran political reporter Bill Cameron has ever witnessed.

Clinton was an hour late for the Tuesday afternoon rally at the Palmer House and droned on for another hour, sending dozens of the few hundred Democrats in attendance for the exits.

"Well, all we’re really asking for is two more years, that's a total of four, to get us out of the hole and get us into the future. That's half as much time as you gave them to dig the hole. Seems fair to us," Clinton said.

Sheesh...a few hundred? In deep blue Chicago? And a former president was there?  This was a well-publicized event run by Organizing for America.

The Great Correction will be coming to Illinois.

Oh, the weather here is not nearly as bad as the national media is portraying it. Windy, yes. But I've seen no downed trees. Dems: Don't use the weather as an excuse.
