A major Chicago area newspaper DOESN'T endorse a Chicago machine RAT running in a heavily RAT district? Color me surprised. We couldn't even get the "conservative" Chicago Tribune to endorse Hayes over the ultra corrupt Jackson. The Southtown Star tries to be the south suburban equivilent of the Daily Herald. Even more amazing is the Southtown is owned by the Sun-Times, but their editoral staff has been very independent this year and broken with the Sun-Times on some major races. Someone must have slipped the Southtown staff an integrity pill. But don't be alarmed, it will wear off by tomorrow and they'll be back to endorsing crooked commies.
Nice. It has happened before (a paper endorsing a long shot Republican in Chicago) but it’s rare.
