Found - this lament in Politico’s Playbook of 7/20/2012:
ELEVATOR FODDER -
"'Chicago' sinister word in campaign: Romney camp invokes a style of
politics long associated with the city - cutthroat," by Bob Secter and
Rick Pearson : "Republicans this election season have been
attacking 'Chicago-style politics' with relish ... With Chicagoan Barack Obama
in the White House and his hometown famed for cutthroat politics, it was
perhaps inevitable that rivals would seize on guilt by geography to try to
discredit him. The city's latest star turn as GOP villain began in recent days
as Mitt Romney ... fumed while Democrats intensified attacks on his finances,
tax returns and record as a private equity manager. 'Chicago-style politics at
its worst,' the former Massachusetts governor and Bain Capital owner declared
in a refrain quickly picked up by his campaign surrogates."
It seems that no one in Obamaland saw a problem with putting
HQ in the city that brought us Rezko, Blagojevich and the Godfather of Democratic
national Committee Convention public receptions, Richard J. Daly.
