Bloomberg takes gun fight to Chicago

Politico reports:
A Chicagoland special House election to replace disgraced former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has suddenly become Ground Zero of the national gun control debate, courtesy of anti-gun crusader Mike Bloomberg. The billionaire New York City mayor’s super PAC is poised to dump at least $2 million into the race, sources told POLITICO — a staggering sum for a single House race that’s meant to thwart a National Rifle Association-aligned Democrat who was cruising along as the frontrunner until a barrage of Bloomberg-financed attack ads hit the airwaves.
If the Koch brothers did this: we'd hear from the MSM about the need for campaign finance reform. But, when strongman Mike Bloomberg does this it's for "the public interest".
