Exactly fieldmarhsaldj. I'm voting for Brady also. The recent antics with Looserweis has left a severe distaste in my mouth.
I like Brady b/c he is talking about the issues and Looserweis has been trying to get him to throw mud. Straw poll? Calling him a liar when Oberweis has his facts wrong. It's sad.
If anyone should drop out of the race, it should be Mr. Oberweis and let a class act like Senator Brady win this primary.
Well, I'm not an IL voter, so I don't have a say. Down here in TN, we can't even get the Republican party to run a candidate against a corrupt 'Rat administration. All I can tell you folks is vote your conscience in this matter. Some will vote for Oberweis in an attempt to stop Topinka, which is completely understandable, but Oberweis has, as was pointed out, reinvented himself and his positions so many times that one has to question his commitments and his core principles.
If the marginally more acceptable Brady pulls enough votes to keep Oberweis away from the nomination, I can't necessarily fault Brady for doing that, either. If Oberweis had maintained consistent principles throughout his campaigns, as opposed to sticking a moistened finger in the air to ascertain where the political winds were blowing, perhaps he wouldn't find himself in such a pickle. As I said, I don't envy IL GOP primary voters, this is not exactly an inspiring cast of characters that would lead the state back to greatness again. If IL is to remain mediocre, let the 'Rats take full credit.
