KEYWORD

Quinn Is Favored Candidate For Governor In 2014



Governor Quinn should keep his job, according to most of the Illinois delegates at the party's national convention.

Eighty percent of those who responded to a "Daily Herald" survey put Quinn on top of the ticket in 2014. Twenty-five percent gave him an "A" for job performance and another 40-percent say he's doing an average job as governor, and gave him a "B" for performance.

Some of the delegates would like to see Attorney General Lisa Madigan run for the state's top job, but a win for her could create quite the concentration of power with her dad, Michael Madigan, running the House and her brother's godfather, John Cullerton, on top in the Senate.
