The image above is my attempt to show how all the Illinois and Chicago Democratic Power players are connected.  In several instances, they are actually related (Mell’s and Madigans).  In addition, I have tried to show who from Illinois have relationships with Obama and his administration.

The Major power player in Illinois politics is Mayor Richard Daley.  He influences Chicago, Cook County, and the State of Illinois politics.

This was done off the top of my head as a citizen of this State knowing who the players are.

I’d like to know what you think.
