October 4, 2009

Gov. Mitch Daniels happened to be in Chicago on Friday, giving a speech to the Illinois Policy Institute, when that city failed in its bid to host the 2016 Olympics.

Daniels was asked during the question-and-answer portion of his appearance for a reaction.
Quipped our governor: "What is the world coming to when Chicago can't fix an election anymore?"
