* We haven’t had one on this guy in a while. But he’s inching himself back into the game, so let’s put him back in play. Kurt Erickson reported over the weekend that state Sen. Bill Brady is cranking up the fundraising again

Supporters of Brady, meanwhile, received a fundraising solicitation in the mail recently.

Brady told me Thursday that he’s not yet decided whether he’ll make another run for governor in 2014. But, he said with new campaign fundraising limits, it makes sense to continue trying to raise cash while he mulls his political future.

The piece was about Brady sponsoring a bill to allow beer sales at Illinois State University’s golf course. Anyway, Brady Tweeted this photo today from a panel discussion with the Illinois Partners for Human Services…

Winner gets a free “premium” beverage from me at this year’s House vs. Senate softball game, which I’m once again proudly co-sponsoring.

    Brady “Very good question. By concealed carry, I mean…..”

    You’ll have to excuse me for a moment. I just got off the back nine at ISU, and like they say, you don’t really buy beer, you only rent it.


  3. - breaking - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:08 pm:

    He’s running for Secretary of State


  4. - just sayin' - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:08 pm:

    I get these sharp pains when I think how in the best Republican environment in my lifetime that I couldn’t beat a guy who promised to raise taxes and who was the former running mate of a convicted felon.


  5. - Rich Miller - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:09 pm:

    Now, see, if we had concealed carry you wouldn’t have to worry if I made a motion like this with my left hand because I’m right-handed. However, if I switched hands, better duck.


  6. - shore - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:09 pm:

    downstate was good, that’s what I was thinking.

    Jason’s tax returns have been right here the whole time…right next to my heater.

    “When I said cut 10% across the board, I meant my new diet. Check out the waistline!”


  10. - Highland, IL - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:23 pm:

    When the returns started coming in from Chicago my heart dropped to here, and then more came in and…..

    Dumb Founded - Dumb Look ( a winning combination ?)


  12. - Newsclown - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:31 pm:

    (Lady in purple)

    My dogs say, “HI!”


  13. - Fed-Up - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:37 pm:

    You know last year when I played the course I had to drink milk and by the time I hit the 18th hole it had soured and really upset my stomach. Beer never does that.


  14. - How Ironic - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:49 pm:

    So then I see Caesar put his hand over his stomach like this and say “Et tu, Brute”, and then keel over. And I was like “Man, I gotta get into politics!”

    Granted, it was nothing like when I rode into battle with Teddy R, but it was still cool.

    So if there aren’t any questions I’ve got to go prep for my Mars landing in 2 weeks.


  15. - Rich Miller - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:51 pm:

    How Ironic, this is Bill Brady, not Mark Kirk.


  16. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:52 pm:

    “Then I would say … no Jason, your belly-button is ‘here’ … Jason would just giggle and ask again ‘where is my belly-button, Uncle Bill?’… I miss the kid.”


  17. - MrJM - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:53 pm:

    “They say that the Republican party isn’t crazy enough to nominate me again — but I say they have no idea how crazy we are!”

  18. - DC - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:56 pm:

    When I first agreed to P90x, I thought it was an assault rifle, but now that I’ve seen the results, I like it better than stray puppies at the pound.


  19. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:58 pm:

    Ask me again! … Ask me about Scott Lee Cohen again! …


  20. - Ahoy - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:01 pm:

    As you can see, I’ve slimmed down a little… unlike the State budget.


  21. - Rich Miller - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:06 pm:

    People, please, enough with the gas jokes, OK? Thanks. I’ve deleted about ten of them. C’mon.


  22. - SpartanPride - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:13 pm:

    “I’m running for Gov… stop laughing, that wasn’t a punch line.”


  23. - John A Logan - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:16 pm:

    My abs are Aaron Shock like…….Seriously.


  24. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:16 pm:

    “Do I believe the ‘conceal-carry’ polls? …Look fella, I believed polls up to the November election day and I am STILL in the Illinois Senate … so you really want my take on that poll?”


  25. - Retired Non-Union Guy - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:23 pm:

    This is what happens when you actually eat all the mystery chicken dinners on the campaign trail … you end up bloated just like state government. … I pledge to solve that problem if you elect me next time …


  26. - Ed - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:23 pm:

    “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me.”


  27. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:24 pm:

    “I like a single-breasted button coat. That is no secret.

    What some of you may NOT know, is that with single breasted coats, you may not be quicker to get your ‘heater’ than with the double-breasted coats.

    It’s a ’style’ choice, for me, to wear a single-breasted coat. I feel very confident I can get to my sidearm in either.”


  28. - A Citizen - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:26 pm:

    Miss me yet? Another chance comn soon!


  29. - OneMan - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:29 pm:

  32. - Commonsense in Illinois - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:39 pm:

    ” I pledge allegiance, to the flag…”


  33. - wordslinger - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:40 pm:

    “Everyone likes a cold beer and a hot dog on the 19th hole. And by hot dog, I mean authentic, if you catch my drift…”


  34. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:42 pm:

    “I went up to John Cullerton, very quiet-like …put my hand about here and as he sat at his desk on the senate floor.

    I whispered, ‘You aren’t going to draw me out of the map, are you Johhny? I have one question for you if you do … do you feel lucky, punk? Do you? …’

    So I feel pretty good about having a safe seat…”


  35. - Rod's Hair - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 1:56 pm:

    “A year ago I was running for Governor, now the best I can do is guest star on the Muppet Show.”


  36. - PaGo - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 2:00 pm:

    >>>Lois Henderson, resident of rural Covell, Illinois, and lifelong owner of cats and dogs, looks on as former gubernatorial candidate Bill Brady tries to explain his true position about the euthanasia of dogs and cats. Brady later said it was a “gut-wrentching” decision to reverse his earlier position.

  45. - WRMNpolitics - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 3:02 pm:

    To run or not to run! That is the question.Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    the slings and arrows of outrageous campaign promises
    or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
    and by opposing everything end them?


  46. - Aldyth - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 3:07 pm:

    If I had been elected governor, you still wouldn’t be getting paid.
