Obviously following the Jim Oberweis strategy.

Next step: a short-term job with a hedge fund biggie in Chicago.

Tio Hardiman may not have a real shot of wiiing any U.S. Senate bid, but he certainly is keeping the spotlight on gun violence in Chicago and for this I am grateful…

this guy, and his causes, have always been a lot of talk.

Here I am jogging thru the cemetery where Burris’ headstone is. I’m gonna check out the dimensions - I believe I will need a bigger one than Roland. #magicalthinking

The only thing that is missing is Dan Rutherford in this photo.

The shirt soaked in sweat shows extra hard effort. Cue the Rocky theme.

Am I the only one who is really missing Bill right now?

Looking out at the road rushing under my heels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many campaign yields
In one race I got “seventeen” and running up the vote total
I don’t know where I’m running now, I’m just running on
Running on - running on Dopey
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m “running behind”
Gotta do what you can just to keep “ego” alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
The next race I got “twenty-one” and the press called the race over
I don’t know when that road turned onto the road I’m on
Running on - running on Dopey
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m “running behind”
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to giggle
I don’t know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that’ll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my heels
I know you know how just how crazy this campaign feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them run away too
Running on - running on Dopey
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m “running behind”
Money, you really tempt me
You know the way you look “so kind”
I’d love to have more but I’m “running behind”
You know I don’t even know why I’m hoping to win
Running into the sun but I’m running again

OW, that may rank as one of this year’s best! Kudos to you!

@FakeRutherfordDan - All that is missing is the tread mill, a Bruce Willis movie and a Scheduled Friday Press Flop #SeenThisMovieBefore
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 10:43 am
Knome: No. But they like GEICO for some reason. However, this is Illinois, and there have been some unusual nominees for various offices in varying circumstances and situations.

(Tips cap to - Knome Sane -, thanks)
“Caption?”
“Take this quick, I can’t hold this pose much longer!”

If he’s actually running in that shot that’s not much of a stride. My guess it was staged.
Comment by Stones Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 10:55 am
“Tio Hardiman, MA, where the MA stands for Misses Attention”
As an aside, listing degrees after someone else’s name is OK as a show of respect/courtesy. Listing them (or something like Esq. for lawyers) after your own name screams I have a huge ego.
Comment by Ron Burgundy Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 10:56 am
With apologies to Duran Duran…
His name is Tio and his campaign’s stuck in sand.
Just like that Plummer dreamin’ out in lumber land.
And now he’s running for attention..that’s his plan.
Oh Tio, Tio, your ambitions are too grand.

who?
I had more interest in “cut the taxes” than I do in this clown.

The next Senator from the great state of delusion.
Comment by 47th Ward Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 11:22 am
Keeping himself out of handcuffs for a couple of more years might be more helpful to his campaign than pretending he’s jogging.

“We had one without a shirt and running shorts, but are goal is to peak people’s interests, not get mocked. We chose well.”

@FakeTioHardiman - my own triathlon; arrest, run, run! #JoggingOrYoggingTheJMayBeSilent
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 11:38 am
Running from the police or for senate both take stamina
Comment by Wumpus Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 11:39 am
Does jogging help win elections? Or is he just running on empty.
Comment by MrGrassroots Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 12:50 pm
Faster, Tio, faster! Don’t look back over your shoulder because Jessie Jackson Junior is starting to catch up to you. Jessie (I’m back) Jackson Junior will be looking to organize his core Chicago supporters in about 3 months for his next foray into Illinois politics.
Comment by John Culpepper Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 12:52 pm
Wow. If this is his idea of running, I wonder what his idea of ’slacking off’ is……his shadow’s even embarrassed.

Tio should be exercising his phone dialing fingers instead if he wants enough money to be relevant.

Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Wednesday, Jun 4, 14 @ 8:23 pm
Chuckle, chuckle…operative term here from Tio: “possible.” Yet if possible becomes reALity for him, astonishingly, it likewise morphs into IMpossible instantaneously…!

I’m try’in to catch that spaceship.
Gonna miss it if I don’t hurry!

If I lose 3 consecutive races, I can change my my name to ‘Trio’ Hardiman.
