In the 2006 Illinois primary, Oberweis was a spoiler at least as much as Brady. Both of them knew that they would split the anti-Topinka vote, helping her win the nomination. Oberweis should have known that, since the lost statewide primaries, in 2002 and ‘04, he would also lose in ‘06. I walked seven precincts for Brady. Oberweis should have dropped out of the race, in Sept. 2005.
“Oberweis should have dropped out of the race, in Sept. 2005.”
He should have never entered the race.
