4. Judy Baar Tostinka

Says No to Seniors
No to help care for children
No to police officer and fire house
No to middle class working families.

What a great speaker Blagojevich is, who says he remebers what his family had to go through to provide something better for their children..speaking from the heart not from a throne. From the heart.

Blagojevich 2006!

5. I for one love rod

He got stem cell research into the state. It's my only hope for a cure for parkinsons disease. I will sink every nickle I got into his campaign. How can you not love a guy who stands up against the wings nuts every chance he gets.

7. I am not sure.

I don't get out of the house much. Your best bet is to put up a query in the Illinois forum.

8. I've been keeping tabs from Missouri.

Glad Rod won it!

For the repukes, I was hoping Oberweis would have won it. I think he'd be A LOT easier to beat than Topinka. Rod's gonna have a VERY tough battle ahead if he has to face her.
