Makin' It

Marc PoKempner

There was a really interesting (and long!) piece on the front page of the Times this morning about Barry's rise to power in Illinois. It details all the different coalitions he had to put together and constituencies he had to satisfy as he moved from being a smart alecky Harvard Law grad to presidential candidate.

If your weather's as gray as it is here, check it out! It tells you a lot about him, but is also a really cool look at the workings of the Cook County machine.
