This has to be a hard pill to swallow for Rauschenberger who went and jumped off a cliff for Roeser in recruiting Alan Keyes to Illinois. Always implicit in that bargain was the idea that Roeser would support Rauschenberger running for Governor.
The question will be on whether Rauschenberger can report a strong financial showing despite Roeser backing Oberweis. If he doesn’t, it’s hard to imagine Rauschenberger stays in the race.
After seeing Gidwitz bomb in his Dick Kay interview Rauschenberger was the last Republican I had any enthusiasm for.
Hang in there, Steve.
