JohnR,

OMG, I'm an insider!! I'm sure that it's shocking that readers of this blog are also involved in state government in some fashion.

As for your suggestion that I'm an arrogant older insider . . . well, I'm not that old, but I am old enough to know that power would go to my head at age 30.

I'm also old enough to recognize youthful arrogance when I see it.

YDD: What's the reason that wages aren't as stagnant in 48 other states? Illinois ranks 49th, second only to Michigan, in the decline of median income over the last 6 years. It's hard to believe that Bush is the reason that Illinois ranks behind every other state except one!

Amazingly, I decided to go with a Republican... I know he was not really a serious candidate and never will be... Arthur "the neo-nazi" Jones. If his nickname doesn't convince you, then go here... http://www.americafirstcomm... For some seriously awesome Nazi rants, just go to "articles," all of which were written by Mr Jones.... You think there is a Mrs Jones?

I just realized why everyone hates Bradley Tusk:

"4) Brad Tusk Ã¢â‚¬â€ the guyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s smart, but come one: put any 30-year-old from out of town in that position, and youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll have a real problem with arrogance and unwillingness to reach out."

The age-old problem: OLDER arrogant folks who don't like the younger arrogant folks.

By the way - when you mention Bradley Tusk, you out yourself as an insider. You lose your objectivity in my mind.

That's just an FYI.

Jim Oberweis without a doubt. That man is not a respectable politician, he is just full of hate. He disgusts me.

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m fearful that keeping any current public official would upset IllinoisÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ model, yet fragile, political system, and could potentially taint our proud political hertitage.

I'm fearful that banishing any current public official would upset Illinois' model, yet fragile, political system, and could potentially taint our proud political hertitage.

Dan Curry -- I didn't mean that Joe Birkett was guilty of all three mortal political sins, only he knows that, but I think we can squarely peg him with one. Former Will County States Attorney Jeff Tomczak's case for malicious persecution awaits to be heard, and, lord willing we'll some day get to the bottom of the John Burge trial.

Trigg - I don't know why you want to blame Mike Madigan for everything, but you obviously know nothing about the man. He's only been state party chairman for 7 years, and quite frankly, there wasn't really anybody else competing for the job. You can't blame him for Blagojevich, either. Madigan's only mistake there was not getting involved in the Governor's race in the primary. He certainly had nothing to do with the fact that Blagojevich beat Vallas.

And the reason that wages are stagnant and manufacturing has left Illinois, is corporate greed, George Bush and GOP trade policies, not Mike Madigan. Mike Madigan didn't force Whirlpool to close it's doors in Herrin and put 1000 factory workers on the curb, it was their unwillingness to pay a fair living wage for a fair days work that did that.

YDD: If Birkett is to be held accountable for his minor involvement in sending an innocent man to death row, how about the Cook County State's Attorneys, past and present, who are responsible for dozens of cases of innocents sent to death row. Remember the Ford Heights Four, for example?

No Ibendahl Fan: How about Jon Zahm?

David Axelrod, who Stanley Kusper once called "the Prince of Darkness" He should be banned. He is nothing but a phony liberal who behind the scenes cuts deals and makes millions

My vote, though I'm sure I will be chastised for it, goes to Jesse Jackson Jr. In this case the sins of the father are passed onto the son, and I really can't deal with his grandstanding much longer, even as an ardent democrat who would support William Jefferson for re-election if it meant we took back the House. Jackson can stay there, just don't run for mayor.

Emil Jones, bought and paid for by the big X, shameful to think what he might do for them.

I am surprised that Bob Kjellander's name has not been mentioned? Maybe all has been forgiven (but I doubt it).

Nobody mentioned George Ryan either? Probably because they are counting on him making the vanity plates that they have always wanted while he is away on his vacation.

Yawn,

Actually I do feel better showing up ugly racists for the ignorant morons they are. His post was so offensive, in fact, that Rich removed it. So thanks.

"People donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t like Oberweis because heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a horrible candidate with a toxic personality".

I couldn't agree with you more. As a Christian Conservative, there is no way I would have supported NObeone. He is a horrible candidate.He does not represent the real christian conservatives.

Dick Mell. Because he gave us Blagozo. Nuff said, but I hate to beat on Mell because it would seem GRod has given him enough pain already.

Dick Durbin. He is the walking incarnation of Neville Chamberlain after the Prime Minister had his nads handed to him by Hitler. Dubin whines and whimpers about how unfair life is, all the while selling us out with his creepy big-hug utopian dreams.

Durbin makes Pelozi look like John Wayne.

My vote: Taliban Dick
