1. James Nally is one of the biggest opponents of ballot access and is infamous for knocking minorities off the ballot frivolously just ask attorney Richard Means, a real reformer and good attorney. He did work for the HDO and alderman Danny “Monterrey” Solis. He is a politically connected hack who is on the bad side of government.

4. This is the same Tom Dart the Tribune raved about in its endorsement editorial today. Wait a second… most of the arguments sounded like reasons for backing his Republican opponent, Peter Garza. About what you should expect from an editorial board led by that ex-college jazz show producer Bruce Dold, who seems clueless at times in understanding the inner workings of Chicago Machine politics.

5. This was a good program. Non stop candidates and then this discussion at the end. Plus a lot of candidates that people aren’t happy with such as Peraica, Stroger and even Dart. Though we don’t hear as much about Dart as we do anyone else.

6. Rich,
   It is not just Rush Limbaugh claiming that about Michael J. Fox. The actor has admitted that he goes off his medication before testifying before Congress, etc. for that reason.

   The fact was reported tonight on WFLD.
