 In this June 10, 2013 file photo, Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, 
with Senate President John Cullerton looking on at left, speaks to reporters 
after a meeting with Gov. Pat Quinn in Chicago.APShown here is former 
Metra CEO Alex Clifford.FNCA former Chicago-area executive is blowing the 
whistle in the latest case to showcase what is derisively known as 
the "Illinois way" -- politicians' practice of doing business by dishing 
out favors to friends who contribute generously to their campaigns.This 
time, a top-ranking Democrat has been implicated. The case involves Illinois' 
most powerful Democratic leader -- state House Speaker Michael Madigan -- 
and the former head of the Chicago area's commuter rail service, Metra. 
In a rare move earlier this week, Metra's ex-CEO Alex Clifford came 
forward publicly to reveal specific details about how he says he was 
forced out of his lucrative job after refusing to cave to political 
pressure.Clifford, who was hired from California in 2001, testified during 
a recent Regional Transportation Authority board meeting in Chicago. For 
two hours he spoke openly about what he calls serious "ethical and 
moral character flaws" from people who practice the "Illinois way" of doing 
business, including Madigan.Clifford claims Madigan specifically wanted 
a pay raise for a Metra employee, Patrick Ward, who has been 
a generous contributor to Madigan's campaign, according to state records. 
Clifford testified: "What 
 ing state."It's a legacy 
that I embrace and that I'm not going to run away from," 
Bush told The Associated Press in an interview during a recent visit 
to the affluent Dallas suburb of Frisco. "But certainly, in this campaign, 
I have to identify myself and talk about my own track record."That 
isn't always easy.People want to know how often he calls assorted relatives 
for advice and what sleeping at the White House was like. Political 
observers wonder if the Spanish-speaker who offers a unique blend of Republican 
royalty and Hispanic heritage can slow what looks like Texas' inevitable 
demographic slide toward a Democratic-leaning state. His mother, Columba, 
is from Mexico.Jeremy Bird, who helped President Barack Obama win re-election 
last year by using data analysis to tailor voter mobilization to the 
most promising areas, helped tilt Nevada and Colorado to the Democrats in 
the 2012 presidential race. Now, Bird and other Obama veterans are leading 
Battleground Texas, a group that hopes to do the same thing in 
Texas."This is something not to be taken lightly. It's a well-capitalized, 
well-financed group that's intent on developing a long term strategy. That's 
problematic," Bush said. "It's going to require more for candidates like 
myself and people from the party to step up their game. Not 
necessarily change our principles, but change our tactics."He said Republicans 
will have to recruit more Spanish-speakers, campaign more frequently alon
