Jesse Jackson Jr. and Claypool held an event at Jackson’s Congressional Office where Claypool backed Jackson’s plan for a 3rd Airport. Jackson didn’t endorse and probably won’t, but it was an important signal to African-American voters that Jackson isn’t going to just throw in behind Stroger.
This isn’t surprising since the Trib points out a Jackson supported candidate is taking on a key Stroger ally in the County Board race
Gee, is Jesse Jr thinking about something in 2007? (I still think he’ll avoid 2007 and 2011 is his target)
More on Claypool later.
I have a silly question for your scores of readers outside the Illinois area: what happens in 2007 and/or 2011? Chicago Mayoral race?
Sorry, but yes, the next one is Spring of 2007 and then in 2011.
