Jim Oberweis has gone through so many different political metamorphisies that he stands for nothing at all except winning elections. And he's not even any good at that. Judy Topinka is an uber-RINO, a Lincoln Chafee in drag. Bill Brady is a non-entity. That rich guy who has Steven Rauchenberger as a running mate is an empty suit. And Rauchenburger himself forfeited a lot of conservative respect by being his running mate.
Even the GOP in New Jersey looks good compared to their counterpart in Illinois.
What a sorry state of affairs.
A sorry state of affairs, indeed. I'm voting for Oberweis, mainly in the hope that he can defeat Topinka. If he wins, I will pray daily that he doesn't shoot himself in the foot by doing or saying something goofy. His handlers need to keep him on a very straigh path. If he doesn't win, well, Illinois will have the worst choice for governor in my memory. In most elections, at least one of the candidates could claim some kind of merit; but this time, sheesh!
