Oberweis mail mystery solved?
Monday, Feb 10, 2020 - Posted by Rich Miller * We discussed a couple of similar-looking mailers on Friday. One was from the New Prosperity Foundation, which is headed by Jim Gidwitz and Greg Baise…  The other was sent by Congressional candidate Ted Gradel…  * Cal Skinner at the McHenry County Blog did a bit of snooping and discovered that the two largest contributions to the New Prosperity Foundation were from a guy named Thomas Mazza, totaling $150,000. Thomas and Sue Mazza have also given $5,600 each to Ted Gradel’s campaign. …Adding… From comments…

It wasn’t Ken Dunkin’s patrons after all.
The battle to move 25+ points on a person like Oberweis won’t be won in the mailboxes; it will be won on the ground, and will need constant and overwhelming air support, as in TV air support.
This is either “money thrown in the fireplace” or a much deeper plan to move the numbers in big chunks.
We’ll see if there’s “buyer’s remorse” from his boss after March 17th.

What will Ted Gradel say next? “No coordination! No collusion!”

“Hi‼ I played football 33 years ago‼”
I guess that’s one way to run for Congress.

Correction: “ Hi!!! I kicked footballs 33 years ago!!”

Kicking footballs worked fairly well for Bob Thomas in his judicial elections.

For a $150K donation, Ted Gradel must be a helluva an employee.

OW: There is no way a Congressional race can move 25 points in the field. The field will help but won’t matter if he has constant media i.e. TV/Radio/Digital. I’ve moved races with media alone.

Hmm. Could be why I also wrote this;

Narrator: He bet on “money thrown in the fireplace.
The last plan I heard for these folks against Oberweis consisted of “hope”
Before we go too far, I states then, and now, “hope” is not a plan.
