A few Hamos strengths and weaknesses
Wednesday, Jul 29, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller * Democratic state Rep. Julie Hamos has a great story to tell during her upcoming 10th District congressional race. Her parents fled Communist Hungary when she was a child after they survived the unthinkable…
Some partisans commented here yesterday about Hamos’ alleged problems with Jewish voters. But she has a pretty strong hand, if you ask me. * It’ll also be tough to peg her as a Mike Madigan clone since she’s been on the outs with MJM for quite a while now. Here’s a recent and quite snarky Speaker Madigan quote about her…
That little feud goes back to the Blagojevich days, which won’t be good for Hamos…
More on that Blagojevich/MJM/Hamos feud from a column written by GOP Rep. Jim Sacia in June of 2008…
She also voted for the income tax hike, which may not play well in that congressional district. * Hamos’ biggest problem right now, however, is her campaign itself. Her announcement video, which I posted yesterday, is just flat-out horrible. No self-respecting campaign would ever release something so amateurish and thoroughly flawed.

Campaign 2010 roundup
Tuesday, Jul 28, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller * Put this into the “I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’” file. The Illinois Republican Party whacks Democratic US Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias for talking out of both sides of his mouth…

* Comptroller Dan Hynes’ campaign has been whacking Gov. Pat Quinn for the past few days, but Hynes’ campaign Twitter page has lately focused on sports…
Lotsa red meat there, Dan. Way to get all controversial on us. * Republican William Kelly has a bit of fun with his state comptroller campaign kickoff video… Kelly’s background from a press release…
* Sen. Durbin apparently doesn’t know anything more than we do about Chris Kennedy…
* Democratic State Rep. Julie Hamos claims $200,000 in contribution pledges for her 10th Congressional District run…
Here’s her campaign video announcement… Carlos Hernandez-Gomez ponders Hamos on Twitter…
* State Sen. Rickey Hendon (D-Chicago) talks to Fox Chicago News about running for Congress… * Memo to newspapers: Get your own houses in order before complaining about blogs. Case in point, the Naperville Sun gave GOP Congresscritter Judy Biggert sponsorship credit for a major local project…
Um, no…
The newspaper story appears to be a clumsy rewrite of an official press release. Oops. * Related…
