Why not. The Republican Party in Illinois is in shambles. What have they got to lose?
"Why not. The Republican Party in Illinois is in shambles. What have they got to lose?"
Dittos on that. They are about to write off this race anyway.
Ditka has name ID. Oberweis has money but no name ID. Any other candidate they pick will lose in obscurity...
Vet Ditka for brains, political spine, and for being able to articulate a GOP political position, then get him in the ring. He's likely more qualified than some of the loser senators in there (Murray the dimbulb, Shrillary, Barb check bouncer Boxer, KKK Byrd the Senile).
And I cant believe he's as bad a RINO as Arnie S. is, another case of the party getting "saved" by a celebrity candidate. Anyone who enjoys a big cigar and spent his life ordering 300 lb men around cant be *that* wussy. :-)
