The trucking scandal is apparently taking a lot of energy out the Mayor. While being cynical about the Mayor is generally correct and he has a tough hide when it comes to criticism, this one seems to be draining him according to some around him.

Remember, this was before the most recent poll. 1) Jack Ryan. Apparently being an empty suit is in this year. Don’t know about Kjellander’s scandal in the Tribune Editorial Board? Being that rich you should be able to buy a clue. Social conservatives love him and he is an attractive candidate. Trekkers still hate him. […]

Okay, pretend this was up last week. But I will be doing another one over the weekend…(meaning the newest poll isn’t taken into account) 1) Hynes–Not as strong as one would expect, but still has union and county organizations behind him which is a lot. A bit bland on the campaign trail and a weak […]

For those who remember the Earl Holt story, the letters to the River Front Times never seem to end. The first batch is about another particular racist who is on the air at WGNU in the form of Couch Potato. He is a cretin. Why do these spate of letters continue? Think about who takes […]

comes to Da Lou. Neil Steinberg seems to pride himself on being pissy to readers. On Poynter, his generic response to angry readers is posted: Dear Reader: I received your e-mail message. Sadly, I no longer permit myself the pleasure of personally responding to snide remarks from dissatisfied individuals, as doing so inevitably leads to […]

Thanks for everything you do for the party. Glad to have you back in the Senate fighting full time. Let’s get on that Global Warming Bill with McCain now. The nominee will need that pressure on Bush. And as an added bonus Bush just cut the EPA by 7%. For the nihilistic wing of the […]

For my Illinois readers I reserve the right to change before the Illinois primary. My vote for the primay is undecided between John Edwards and Howard Dean and may stay that way until I get in the booth. I like the man who will fight for fiscal responsibility and actually makes a point of how […]

I’ll cover the Missouri race at least and stay safe with a large Kerry win–around 50%, but Edwards coming in around 25% and Dean around 12%. The rest of the happy campers will come in behind. Clark’s campaign is DOA here and of course, in my liberal nabe, I got some Kucinich lit. Al won’t […]
