Monday morning shorts
Monday, Mar 20, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller · If you’re just joining us, here are some links to some important stories that were blogged here over the weekend: · Machine hobbled on Tuesday? · Why isn’t Stroger at Stroger Hospital? · Sunday roundup The NCAA is cracking down on “hostile or abusive'’ team nicknames that involve American Indians. The Bradley Braves are one of the teams under fire. […] · It’s finally come to this: “GOP opponents criticize Blagojevich’s non-campaign campaigning.” More last-minute stuff here. · Gubernatorial candidates’ budget plans discussed. · The Sun-Times has a good graphic breaking down the candidates’ stances on issues. · Cook County puts away the punch · Fakes in 3rd District? · Kadner has some interesting things to say about Lipinkski’s reelection race. Definitely worth a read. · The Journals & Topics Newspapers refused to make an endorsement in the 6th Congressional District: We make no endorsement among the three Democrats. Cegelis who ran an impressive campaign two years ago, has seemingly failed to ignite Democrats this time around. Duckworth and Scott have ignore most if not all of the Journal & Topics Newspapers circulation area of the 6th Congressional Dist. which includes portions of Des Plaines, Mt. Prospect and Elk Grove Village. Their efforts seem to be concentrated on DuPage County. · 8th Congressional District primary race turns “nuclear negative.” · Mac’s a winner. · Tribune political roundup one and two. · Trib continues Claypool crusade.

Eisendrath fever is sweeping the state. The Tribune reports that a whopping 50 people attended his big campaign finale rally. Pathetic.

See the Trib. article where JBT had 30 supporters at a bar in Champaign. Sad

Yeah. what bored now said, you big tease….
- So-Called "Austin Mayor" - Monday, Mar 20, 06 @ 7:19 am:
Rich,
I think you mean “6-way primary race” rather than “6th Congressional District primary race” turns “nuclear negative.â€
We 6th District folks all love each other.
Of course, some of our candidates aren’t actually FROM the 6th District…

Phil Kadner is one of the most thoughtful journalists in the business. His take on the realities of so-called Machine Politics is a bulls-eye.
The People who cry for reform with such spleen always seem to be the lousiest human beings who wouldn’t give a penny to a starving blind girl.
Voters know who to support and most of the time its for the political pros who do the most for the people with the least.

The Journal & Topics short above makes me think that none of the candidates tried to buy the endorsement, oh, I’m sorry, I mean tried to buy ads in the newspapers.

Pat can always be relied upon to make hasty, sweeping generalizations.

Mr. Anonymous you have a huge family!
Hume,Kant, and Spinoza did it to me. Empiricists, damn them!

Wasn’t the Gov in support of dumping the Chief, but now the Braves are acceptable? Does this make sense?

What does Blago do that makes sense?
