Sen. Sandoval plays hardball well with Obama, McCain – Chicago From: southtownstar.com

Sen. Martin Sandoval (D-Chicago) was one of just a tiny handful of Illinois Democratic state legislators who backed Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid instead of local favorite Barack Obama.
Sandoval’s district and most of the Chicago area’s Latino precincts went for Clinton in the February primary, so it probably was a smart move. Plus, Sandoval has been engaged in a full-blown Statehouse war with Senate President Emil Jones for well more than a year, so backing Clinton against Jones’ political Godson had its “stick in the eye” advantages.”*
