Even the Chicago Tribune Gets It!

(H/T to Instapundit)

When things are so bad that a major metropolitan daily is advocating massive voter participation to sweep people from office, that’s news.  When it’s the Chicago Tribune that’s nothing short of amazing.

Here’s a slice that is right in line with recent posts on RedState:

Together, the Feb. 2 primary and Nov. 2 general elections can — must, if Illinois is to liberate itself from this predicament — constitute The Revolution of 2010. To make that happen, though, each of us needs to shoulder a sword.

We need not only to educate ourselves and then vote for the best candidates on those two Election Days. We also need to create the informed buzz, and make the one-on-one personal outreaches, that will bring our family members and friends to the polls.

As Glenn says, “read the whole thing.”  The call to action is right on target.

    One of the things Blago touched was the breakup of some of the Tribune Companies.

    Tribune Companies included the newspapers (Chicago Tribune, etc.) plus television (WGN) and sports (Wrigley Field/Cubs) – and when they were in breakup, Blago had some fingers on this deal and I’m not sure what happens to the deal in the face of the looming state budget disaster and the taint of Blago.

    So, their ox having been gored, they are now encouraging a fight.

    Hey, I’ll take the help even though I do question the sincerity.
