Well is dog catcher an elected job in Florida? If not with his electoral experiences and since DanProft is also in Florida I think they should go directly into political consulting
Reminds of the old ’spoiled milk’ story: When you take a carton of milk out of the fridge and find it’s spoiled, you don’t put it back in the fridge - you throw it out. How losses will it take for Ober to realize that he’s the spoiled milk?
None. Jim is the wrong man, at the wrong time, at the wrong place. He might be a good businessman: he’s totally unsuited for politics. When he was running against Dick Durbin for Senate , before the Tribune story came out Mrs. Durbin being a lobbyist: he didn’t know she was a lobbyist.

Not so much political, more of a campaign to find some pride.
Seriously, after so many times of voters saying “no”, constantly running becomes a sickness.

“Its almost sad to see someone keep humiliating themselves.”
One only needs to look so far as Willie Wilson, Bob Fioretti, or James Marter to see: Some guys only want to see their name on a sign.

But, yeah, this could be seen as a little bit sad. If it wasn’t so darn funny…

The internet should be shut down after @Pundent posted that comment. That is the best/funniest comment I have seen in years.
As I read it, I heard Morte Seinfeld’s voice in my head and still do.
Well done sir.

Have to admit though, Oberweis would be a significant step up from the guy that recently won the GOP primary for Governor in Colorado - Victor Marx.

Given the recent travails of the dairy, this would also appear to be a “no.”
