---"when was the last time a good conservative won state wide office in IL?"---

Peter Fitzgerald, eight years ago. It took something like 20,000,000 dollars of his own money, and a Dem candidate who was absolutely SWIMMING in new and daily corruption revelations (Carol Mosely Braun). But he was able to BARELY squeeze out a victory.

Oberweis would have the best shot since Fitzgerald, if only because Blago polls in the 30%s in this state and everybody wants him gone.
