Oberweis couldn’t even win a solid GOP Congressional seat on two occasions. His approval ratings were toxic and his flipflops rivaled that of Slick Willard. No way he would’ve won statewide.
In Aug. 2007, I said, on a few websites, “State Sen. Lauzen should be elected to Congress. After he wins, Oberweis should be appointed to replace Lauzen, in the state senate.” I hope that many of the Republicans, of that congressional district, agree with me and regret their primary votes.
