   You should go. We would probably get a lot of funny YouTube footage.

   get Rich to comment on my canidacy.

   Then I attack Rich and hope that garners me more press.

   At least Dan Rutherford didn’t mention goose poop like he does in every other tweet.

   And was Scott Cisek tweeting while driving? Ray LaHood would be disappointed.

   Speaking of Kelly, he had a group of campaign workers trying to collect petition signatures at Union Station this morning.

   Three volunteers (that I saw) wasn’t enough for the two or three arriving trains on my side of the building. I half-hoped they would stop and ask me so I could say “Sorry, I don’t like your candidate’s tactics” and brush past.

   Alas, no.

   I thought Rutherford was discussing his meeting with leader Cross.

   == without the opportunity for counterpoint ==

   Mr. Kelly, keep scrolling down. The comment box is at the bottom.

   For Capitol Fax to blog my Tweet about eating at Jimmy John’s as the most useless political Tweet of the day, obviously doesn’t appreciate Jimmy John is a major contributor to our campaign. I like to support our sponsors!




8. - Small Town Liberal - Thursday, Oct 1, 09 @ 3:17 pm:

   Rutherford just tweeted “Capitol Fax blog my Tweet eating Jimmy John’s as the most useless political Tweet obviously doesn’t appreciate Jimmy John is a major donor.”

   Ooops, too late

    I knew the Illinois Chamber of Commerce was behind the Marxist Kenyan Obama. Who else could it be?

    Other than the tweet that Obama called who’s-it a “jackass”, has there ever been a meaningful tweet?

    I am delighted to hear that Sen. Rutherford is getting adequate roughage. Fiber is an often-overlooked component of the American diet.

    I look forward to hearing the Senator’s position on fresh vs. dried fruit.

    I was happy to read on Capitol Fax today what “the real reason” was why Matt Murphy joined Andy McKenna. I had been told that Matt Murphy couldn’t raise the money required to run a gubernatorial campaign so McKenna approached Murphy looking like Monty Hall from “Let’s Make A Deal”. Andy needed to woo much needed conservative voters over to his side. Matt had what Andy wanted (conservative Republican supporters) and Andy had what Matt desperately needed (money and lots of it) so “a marriage of convenience” was born.

    But, of course, we know now that this simply couldn’t be true. Thank goodness that I read Capitol Fax today and found out what Matt said was “the real reason” for holding hands with Andy McKenna. Whew! What a relief.

    rutherford’s haircut story in the sj-r obviously convinced him to continue his nauseating modus of throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks

    Rich, can you make it a little easier to transfer to your new site? I’m really not that into computer jargon, just enough to get my job done. new site comment, first inquire “name your URL”. I have friends who are all into this, but I neither know nor care what my “URL” is. Just want to make some (occasionally innapropriate) comments.

    something to translate the user-friendly nature of this site to the new one would be welcome.

    tough week for you I know, hang in there.

    By the way, Julie Hamos should get a job in the private sector. Probably never had one.

    Just leave it blank




19. - Chi Gal - Thursday, Oct 1, 09 @ 8:25 pm:

    I’m totally with Bobs yer on the new site! Plus all the bright white background kills my eyes.

    Dearest Rich: you know we love you to death, right? (And I won’t even tell what what percentage of your life insurance your wife is cutting me in on–let’s just say it’s going to pay for a really, really fun girl’s night out!! We may even take your mom out with us! ;-) ) But I am with Bobs yer and Chi Gal–I’m not thrilled with the blazingly white background on the new sight, and I miss the ability to scroll through and read the post, as opposed to the “teaser” we get on the new site. Haven’t tried posting over there yet, so I am hoping my ID will work over there like it does here.

    And when you close this format down, will your address still be thecapitolfaxblog.com? I have noticed when I click over to new site URL changes…

    I know you’re not having the best week…this has got to make you feel like a grandparent who excitedly decides to get new furniture, only to hear everyone gripe about how they liked the old furniture better.

    Have a better weekend, okay?

    Lynn

    P.S. You do realize I’m joking about the insurance, right? ;-)
