Best sign from the Battle of Madison: Illinois will trade Quinn for Walker

My good friend from Madison, Lance Burri of TrogloPundit, took this photograph at yesterday's Battle of Madison, "Illinois will trade Quinn for Walker." Pat Quinn is Illinois' hapless governor, a tool of the public-sector unions who generously contributed to his campaign. Quinn just raised the state personal income tax rate by 67 percent. In addition to his efforts to limit the power of public-sector unions, Walker is a tax cutter.

But there is one problem: Wisconsin will never accept Blago's old running mate.
