Republican McKinley Slams ‘Chicago Machine’ From Jeremiah Wright’s Church
I’m Paul McKinley and I’m running against the machine… I’m not running against a candidate, I’m running against the machine that’s been in power in this district for 60 years.

The Meyers Report: Economic Notes
GDP Numbers Skewed. The markets shrugged off reports of a sharp drop in consumer confidence and a contraction in 2012 Q4 GDP failed to depress stocks.
