How did he ever get elected mayor. Rockford is not exactly Tea Party country. But great to hear anyway.

It ain't Chicago, either. Rockford has a wide populist streak in it, and plenty of gun rights folks. Conservative Don Manzullo represented the area well until redistricted combine suburbanites beat him with carpetbagger Kinzinger in the primary.
Morrissey has also been decent on the pro-life stuff, and was instrumental in shutting down Rockford's abortion mill.
A plurality of Rockford voters would be Scoop Jackson Democrats with extra social conservatism thrown in. Morrissey, Dem turned Ind, knows how to play that.
