I had no idea how big this would be–though neither did many in Chicago. Worse, the Governor is, again, making me praise him–it’s some sort of plot.
Actually, I do believe that in one sense, but it doesn’t involve angry people on the internet. The best thing you can do right now from a Team Blagojevich vantage point is activate the Oberweis anti-immigration supporters to get them to the polls on election day. It’s good policy meets good politics. It also makes Judy take a stand which puts her in a sticky position–though I think it’s safe to say Oberweis won’t be running any immigration commercials in the primary.
This was huge and make no mistake about it–in Illinois, a strong anti-immigration campaign isn’t going anywere.
Another disadvantage is the fact that you are utterly out of touch with the Cegelis campaign and the dynamics on the ground in the sixth District.
Look at the pictures of the rally. All those people! Who in their right mind would run against that?
Oberweis! Oberweis! Oberweis!
