  2. This connecting with voters one voter at a time thing is hard! *checks list* That’s 792 down, 12.8 million or so to go…

    Comment by Ron Burgundy Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 2:56 pm

  3. No real comment other than it often takes a lot of guts to run for public office but the picture does make me question why he thought running was a good idea.

    Comment by Ryan Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:08 pm

    Comment by Stones Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:19 pm

  18. Is there room on the couch for a few more?

    Comment by Belle Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:37 pm

  19. Pictured are the two people who plan to vote for Bob Daiber.

    Comment by The Crane Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:38 pm

  20. Guess he was too late for the early bird special.

    Comment by AlfondoGonz Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:47 pm

  21. I’m surprisingly not interested in giving heat here, even in a good fun, to a guy legitimately seeking to hear the concerns of state residents. Lord knows Rauner or Pritzker couldn’t be bothered to be put in an environment where talking points would only last so long.

    Comment by Stark Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:47 pm

  22. The rest of the crowd was able to get away, leaving one poor soul to take the tongue lashing from the principal.

    Comment by CCP Hostage Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:48 pm

  23. “Portrait in Courage” and most definitively not /s Makes me sad, somehow.

    Comment by dbk Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:50 pm

  24. Daiber is searching for the crying little old lady that wants the shopping Rauner to save Illinois.

    Comment by DeseDemDose Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:53 pm

  25. “So, you’re telling me, this place was full just before I got here”

    Comment by Anonymous Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:55 pm

  26. Mr. Daiber, aren’t you supposed to be on your public payroll job right now? Are you taking today as a vacation day, a personal day, or an unpaid day off?

    Comment by DuPage Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:55 pm

  27. Stark, you’re not wrong here. I’ve thought for awhile that Daiber is the closest thing to a regular guy among the field. That doesn’t mean he’s exempt from his turn in the barrel here at the ol’ blog.

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:56 pm

  28. “March 20th? I’m a White Sox fan myself and I’m pretty sure opening day is March 29.”

    Comment by Responsa Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:57 pm

  29. After pic taken, the guys did the Foxtrot and had a great laugh all the while.

    Comment by Anonymous Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 3:58 pm

  30. Crop the the right side of the photo up to the orange chair and the lights and it is a nice home visit.

    Comment by zatoichi Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 4:08 pm

  31. “No…a little more to the left….raise your hand a bit….perfect, we’re getting tv reception now. Don’t move.”

    Comment by Robert the Bruce Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 4:25 pm

  32. The other 50% of the crowd was standing behind the camera.

    Comment by BIG R. Ph. Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 4:50 pm

  33. Looks like the old joke about the politician working the assisted living facility, and meeting with blank stares. So he asked one lady, “Do you know who I am?”, and she replied, “I surely don’t, but if you ask at the nurses’ station, they can tell you.”

    Comment by Whatever Monday, Mar 5, 18 @ 7:26 pm

  34. “Daiber. Yes, Bob Daiber. Mmhmm. Governor. I swear. Like, on the ballot and everything. Bob Daiber. I’m running for Governor. Nice to meet you too. It’s ok, I’ve never heard of me either.”

    Comment by Halsted Tuesday, Mar 6, 18 @ 3:22 am

  35. Stark, kudos.

    Comment by Halsted Tuesday, Mar 6, 18 @ 3:24 am

  36. Governors must be able to get a clue when they’re not being listened to.

    Comment by VanillaMan Tuesday, Mar 6, 18 @ 8:50 am

  37. I thought for sure there would be donuts……
