I saw this guy's commercial today on TV. He wants to run for gov.

Anyone heard of him?

He wants to be "a better reformer" than Blago, calls Blago someone that "breaks promises" etc.

Anyone heard of him? What area is he familliar with?

Thanks.

I wouldn't even worry about it. Anyone who starts campaigning this early has no chance anyway.

Gidwitz owns a Housing project here in Joliet. He is nothing more than a slum lord who has made his money by running section eight housing. He will not get my vote if he is the last republican on the face of this planet.

Wow.

Thanks for the opinions.

He just lost my "support".

Do you all think very highly of Ray LaHood still?

I know that Dan Rutherford is one of the good guys, but I think he's working his way up in gov't till he wants to be Gov.

Right now, I'm torn between Lahood and Oberweis. Lahood has been in politics for sometime now, and has a record that he can be backed up by. Oberweis hasn't been elected to anything yet, but he is a local guy, and has a habit of saying what needs to be said(probably his down fall also). I'm still up in the air, but I will know for sure by the primary. Either way though, I personally don't think we can go wrong with these two gentlemen, just my $0.02.

Gidwitz looks like he should be wearing the checkered pants with the white belt and white shoes and a silk shirt opened at the neck to show a bucnh of cheap gold chains.

I don't know anything about Gidwitz but he looks like a slimeball.

I still like Oberweis. Hopefully he can sell politics like he sells ice cream!

Seriously, if we can get someone to work upstate and downstate we'll be great in defeating Blago.

Thanks for the opinions.

Just found out that I will be meting mr. Lahood on Aug. 8th. I will definitely pump him for his standings on the 2nd amendment, and his view point on CCW. As well as some more personal issues such as how to return the stolen money to the state pensions and prevent anyone from ever stealing it again.

If you guys have big questions you would like me to ask him, let me know.

Do you talk to legislators often Cody? I am just curious as to why you're meeting LaHood.

I don't have any concrete recollection about this, but from the last gov race, i thought that Oberweis was a bit weak on 2nd A. I have family in the area where Lahood is from and I think he is a bit better on 2A issues, but this is all from memory.

Can't say that I do. The only legislator I ever talked to regularly was Larry Walsh, state senator from my area. The only reason I talked to him was we had alot of mutual friends, and often drank at the same establishment in Manhattan,Il.

Lahood is the keynote speaker for a conference I'm part of. I'm sure he doesn't expect to have to play 20 Questions, but what he doesn't know can't hurt him, right?

I honestly don't know where he stands on all second amendment rights. Unforunately in this state that is made a small part of the election unless you mention taking away the right to hunt or restrict shotguns. Hopefully with either of these men running we can make this an issue and maybe get some of the southern Dems to come to the side of good.

LaHood's my guy--he's been very solid in the US House. Recommend without reservation.

It'll be interesting to see who gets in the race.
