Unless this is inaccurate reporting, Mr. Ryan appears to me be sort of a nut and a very weak candidate

Steve Neal, Chicago Sun-Times. He's a Rat hack who sets up GOP candidates just to smack 'em back down. Wrote a really nice article about Edgar, how he'd be a shoo-in. Then wrote that George Ryan's shenanigans during Edgar's admin would surely bring him down. He's written some really nice stuff about Jack, too. Now he smacks him down.

Very nice hatchet job. Inaccurate reporting? Ha ha ha . . . .

Neal is a sonofbitch. He is obsessed with "choice" amongst other things. He constantly dissed Fitzgerald and said George Ryan would have been a great governor if not for the license-for-bribes scandal.

His dissing of Jack Ryan only improves my opinion of Jack.
