Is it appropriate for your news organization to hold African-American lawmakers to entirely different standards than white ones? So, to be clear, from now on the standard at NBC is that if someone has a supporter who ‘corresponds’ with a Senator, the Senator or Member of Congress or Executive office operative or President or campaign […]
The DCCC’s first priority is always to reelect Democratic Members of Congress and then it moves on to capturing other seats. A pretty good deal if you are a Democratic Member of Congress and on top of that, it’s a 5 minute walk to their offices to do fundraising or other political work. Jackson Jr, […]
Showtime is picking up Arrested Development probably. Showtime has some of the best TV going with Weeds, Huff and the incredible Sleeper Cell. Now, Arrested Development.
Rich has a poll of Cook County voters over at the Capitol Fax Blog Biggest news–Stroger is in big trouble–Claypool up three on him. That’s huge. Notably, Blagojevich’s numbers are only at 53% in a match up with Eisendrath at 13%. That’s not good in a heavily Democratic County where Blagojevich should have huge numbers. […]

Rich points to the Hotline’s post on rising stars in Illinois. The thing I picked up on was the Judy Baar Topinka entry State Treas. Judy Baar Topinka (R): Running for Gov, leading in the polls at the moment. Conservatives don’t like her, but “Judy is an establishment” GOPer in IL, “and establishment” GOPers “win.” […]
This race is becoming increasingly hot so there will be a lot of these through the primary. Stuart Rothenberg ranks the race a top race for control of Congress in Roll Call llinois’ 6th. Democrats have a shot at the seat of retiring Rep. Henry Hyde (R), but they must endure a primary and overcome […]
Christine gave me a good amount of time yesterday. I didn’t have the twins begging for attention so I was able be a bit more organized for this one. I imagine I’ll have it up Wednesday/Thursday. Tenatively, I’m planning on posting some of it at Illinoize and some at Soap Box Chicago if Jeff likes […]
Hotline has the full results. Blagojevich 52%Oberweis 33% Blagojevich 57%Gidwitz 22% Gidwitz even loses in the collar counties while Oberweis gets Blagojevich over 50%. What’s great about these numbers is that Oberweis has 28% approval and 35% approval. For someone without a strong identity amongst the general public, more dislike him than like him. That’s […]
Was it okay for William Ligue to attack Tom Gamboa? Was it appropriate for a bond trader to attack Randy Myers? How do you feel about that? Was it appropriate for all those people to beat up on poor defenseless disco records?
And while I had reservations, XM Fred playing Guadacanal Diary ended those reservations quite quickly. If I lived in Chicago I wouldn’t have felt the need so much with WXRT being available and WXRT being on the internet probably stopped me from getting XM sooner. Even with the weird Pretenders obsession of certain XRT Deejays. […]
I’m generally a pretty sympathetic guy to challenges to the Governor and have been criticizing the guy since before he took office, but I’m not seeing anything credible here. I don’t know where he’ll be before the current day and don’t see any serious arguments against the Governor. Really, I’m sympathetic, but where’s the beef? […]
Hey Tim, Do you think it’s appropriate for Tim McVeigh to bomb a federal building? Hey, what do you think? Do you think it’s appropriate that the Irish guys in my neighborhood get falling down drunk? Do you think Gerry Adams has said something stupid in his life and you should have to comment upon […]
Sigh, the irony.
