So far today, Peraica has released an "internal campaign memorandum" highlighting the contrasts between Peraica and Alvarez the campaign plans to highlight in the coming months. And, they're already hitting her on dodging a joint appearance with Peraica on WTTW's Chicago Tonight. Tony Peraica will have an even bigger mountain to climb in this race than he did in 2006 taking on Todd Stroger.
