The tale of the tape says the Illinois attorney general race should be the biggest mismatch since Peter McNeeley threw in the towel against Mike Tyson. John Schmidt (Harvard man, ex-associate attorney general of the United States) versus Lisa Madigan (Loyola University law ’94, first-term state senator). But Madigan’s father, Illinois house speaker Michael Madigan, is putting in the fix. Take a dive, Johnny–March 19 is not your night. Lisa’s getting a title fight against Republican Joe Birkett; you’re getting a one-way ticket to Palookaville.
