  14. After GOP losses of historic proportions, 2014 Gubernatorial candidate Kirk Dillard moves so quickly to jump on the Latino bandwagon, he’s but a blur.

  19. In an attempt to woo Hispanic support, Kirk Dillard belts out, “I want to be in America, everything free in America” before opening in the road company performance of “West Side Story” next week in Springfield.

  20. Sen. Tony Munoz is gently pulled aside by an onlooker as Sen. Kirk Dillard begins to simulate a lasso trick he once saw on TV.

    Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Nov 16, 12 @ 2:52 pm

  21. Dr. Emmett Brown: Now, remember. According to my theory, the Tea Party interfered with the GOP and Latino’s first meeting. If they don’t meet, they won’t build a significant relationship, they won’t work toward common goals and they won’t vote for one another. That’s why Dillard’s disappearing from that photograph. JBT will follow, and unless you repair the damage, you’ll be next.

    Rutherford: Sounds pretty heavy.

    Comment by Jake From Elwood Friday, Nov 16, 12 @ 3:01 pm

  25. “you want me to try on that authentic outfit AND pose for a picture? …OK, I gues …!”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Nov 16, 12 @ 3:06 pm

  26. Roxanne and Dillard demonstrate a flawless french drop misdirection to make Pat Quinn’s grassroots pension plan appear behind someones ear.

    Moments later everyone was stunned in silence once they realized where Pat Quinn had produced his plan from…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Nov 16, 12 @ 3:55 pm

  36. You know when I served as Jim Edgar’s chief of staff there was nothing the governor and I enjoyed more than a chicken chimachanga at Chili’s. Sometimes when I felt frisky I would go with the steak chimachanga when I was Jim Edgar’s chief of staff.

    Comment by just sayin' Friday, Nov 16, 12 @ 3:55 pm

  37. Dillard - “I believe you mistaken. I’m sure we have a large Latino community in Hinsdale. I often see Latinos out working on their lawns.”
