Illinois Democrats have produced unbalanced budgets, callous funding cuts, and antagonistic gridlock.
Yet the Democratic leader Obama describes as his political mentor believed state lawmakers deserved a pay raise for their work.
Plus, the Democrat who Obama backed for Cook County Board president produced the nation's highest sales tax.
Heading into this Democratic celebration, don't look for them to tout any great accomplishments from back home
So will they cause a big stir at the convention or will obama push them under the bus?
