Quinn touts support from women without Steinem

CHICAGO (AP) — Famed women’s rights activist Gloria Steinem did not make it to Chicago as scheduled Friday to personally endorse Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn in a tough re-election race but her support allowed the Democratic governor to tout his support from women anyway.

Steinem’s flight to Chicago from New York was cancelled after a fire at an air traffic control facility halted all flights in and out of Chicago.
