Chicago Greens to march in St. Patrick’s Day Parade
From Rich Whitney for Governor on facebook:
Chicago’s 55th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be a little bit Greener than years past, but Rich Whitney needs your enthusiasm to paint Chicago a different shade of politics!
The Whitney for Governor campaign will need festive parade marchers and canvassers to greet hundreds of folks, to gather their contact information, and to get them excited about empowering Illinois with its first Green governor! Candidates LeAlan Jones (U.S. Senate) and Tom Tresser (Cook County Board President) will also be present. Let’s recreate Patrick’s sainthood by driving the snakes out of Springfield!
If you would like to participate in the parade, please contact:

It does look there is an opening for the Whitney to do better than most people would expect in Governor election. The most recent poll, which did not include Whitney, showed Gov. Quinn 10 points behind of Republican state Bill Brady, 47-37. Quinn looks to be a pretty weak candidate so that could make an opening.
