I don't think another Pubbie stands a chance. If you can't win DuPage and blunt the gusher in Cook County, fuddgitboutit.
What if Mel Gibson moved to Il.?
Not that I could arrange that or anything.
Mel? You listening, Mel?
Shalom.
BTW, we had one RAT that was a stealth candidate1 for our Village Board and won by 300 votes. He wanted to set up our Village like Chicago with Wards, Precincts, etc. The first thing he proposed was a hand-gun ban, which went nowhere.
Then he went for a AWB2, and that got scuttled too. So now the rest of the Board (and the Mayor) keep busy deep sixing this butt-heads proposals at every turn.
1- Turns out he was a RAT committeeman, but in our local election there's no party affiliation listed so not enough people knew about him, and he's a Lawyer to boot.
2- We have fairly liberal (in a good way) gun laws. Our guns laws are one page long. AND we can use our weapons to defend "our persons and property".
