Anita Alvarez, I learned at a 7 a.m. breakfast a couple of months ago, isn’t much of a morning person. Nor does she drink coffee, preferring hot chocolate. Neither fact should lull her November opponent into the belief that she is either soft or unready for the battle ahead.
Alvarez is the 48-year-old career county prosecutor who made history Feb. 5 by becoming the first woman and the first Hispanic to win a primary for Cook County state’s attorney. She beat five guys who were seasoned veterans of past political races. But that primary, however heated it got, was political patty-cake compared to what’s to come when Alvarez faces off against Republican Cook County Commissioner Tony Peraica in November. Consider what the Sun-Times’ Steve Patterson reported after her victory:

CDOBs Editors says:
Marin instructs us
"Peraica cannot, will not, should not win it without ramping down his bomb-throwing rhetoric", yet she just spent 750 words without giving us an example of his bomb-throwing.
Many of us CDOBs have spoken with Tony Peraica on multiple occasions, and he can take a partisan stand on issues. One wonders, though, how does Marin come to the conclusion that he is a "bomb thrower"?
Does Carol Marin's bomb throwing make Tony Peraica into a bomb thrower?
