Amy co-hosts a morning talk radio show in Chicago.
Her co-host is Dan Proft. Both are pretty conservative, especially Proft.
She became quite close to Sarah Palin when Sarah was running in 2008.
Frankly, she is very active in conservative politics in Illinois.
I wish Proft would run for Governor in Illinois against Humpty Dumpty. Dan is really sharp and very conservative.
I lived in Illinois a lifetime ago. It was pretty evenly split decades ago, but in the last 20 years it has gone off the deep end. My friends still there are paying exorbitant property taxes to fund the ‘Government pensions’ and other Leftist plots to bankrupt. But Chicago has always been a Leftist stronghold. I remember when Mayor Daley died. I heard it announced on WLS and I thought ‘oooh, that guy is going to lose his job for doing a prank story’. It turned out to be true, but the Daleys corrupted Chicago so completely, I doubt if it could ever return to being a respectable city. Sad.
People seem to forget, but Proft DID run for Governor in 2010... and was shunned/ignored by the vast majority of self-appointed "Tea Party leaders" and "Conservative activists" in this state in favor of His Holiness Adam Andrejewski, who they IMMEDIATELY fawned over. Who cares about a guy who has been in the spotlight for YEARS fighting for conservative values in this state -- let's all INSTEAD get behind some guy who showed up YESTERDAY and tells us what we want to hear!
It was a real face palm moment for me, especially since Adam has all but disappeared now. Even my former State Senator (and 2002 GOP gubernatorial primary candidate) Patrick O'Malley endorsed Adam over Proft, which seemed pretty backstabber-ish to me considering Proft had been O'Malley's spokesman in this campaign.
Never understood where the Adam worship came from. It was basically the GOP equivalent the Obama messianic complex, some guy they never heard of before the election and who has never done ANYTHING is suddenly a political "rock star" and the savior of humanity.
Anyway...
Now, Amy Jacobson for Governor? THAT is an interesting possibility.
