It’s called a spine

October 25, 2007 in Congressional Campaigns, Democrats | by robnesvacil

Mark Pera just released his first ad of the season. It’s online-only right now but is schedule for TV time beginning next week.

Take a gander and notice that Mr. Pera exhibits one thing sorely lacking in Washington: a spine.

Arch also had a detailed write-up earlier today about his positive encounter with Mark Pera a few weeks back in Chicago. In it, Arch describes why he thinks voters in the 3rd shouldn’t just vote against annointed son Dan Lipinski but should actually vote for Mark Pera.

That same Archpundit post was also promptly invaded by “Jerry Bennett” concern trolls which is odd since Mr. Bennett, mayor of Palos ~~Heights~~ Hills, endorsed Dan Lipinski for Congress so no one can figure out why the heck he’s now running against the guy he endorsed. It’s not like Mayor Bennett has any positions he’s running on… Hmm, I wonder.

Is Proft a Gov Hopeful or a Court Jester? …Twittering the Day Away July 11, 2009
Considering that we just impeached a goofball and are enduring some some fireworks with the new guy… it doesn’t bode well that one of the GOP gubernatorial hopefuls spent the afternoon trading sophomoric barbs with the citizens he claims to want to lead and breathlessly giving us his quicktake on minutes-old news by tapping away [...]

A choice quote from Sen. Roland Burris’ campaign manager Delmarie Cobb, via a Trib blog: “As you know, there have been many marquee names thrown out for this seat and so far they have all fizzled,” Cobb said. “With [Burris] as the incumbent, it seems the Democratic Party would do well to rally around the person [...]

We don’t take kindly… July 9, 2009
Everyone makes mistakes, even lil ol me. But if the allegations against Rep. Froehlich are true (and he doesn’t need to wait for a States Attorney investigation to know if they are or not) … he should just go. Retire. Resign. Buy that B&B in the country. Go hike the Appalachian Trail. Whatever. I don’t care what [...]

Fran Eaton and the GOP’s Trillion-Whine ‘Misread’ July 8, 2009
Short version: Conservatives like Illinois Review’s Fran Eaton and the NRCC press office from which she lifted a boilperplate attack can’t both complain that Obama’s Recovery Act spends too much money and complain that it’s not doing enough… That’s illogical and actually serves to bolster liberals’ arguments that a s […]

This day and every day, thank a veteran May 25, 2009
And don’t just say “Thank you” (though every veteran I say it to appreciates it)… Back up your gratitude by helping one of any number of veterans’ causes that help us civilians do our small part to honor the sacrifices they made on our behalf. Here are but a few: Hire Heroes USA: “To provide job [...]

Pera’s running an extremely impressive campaign. I’m with Arch: I never imagined he’d get this far. He’s done way better and that’s thanks in no small part to the great people he’s got working with him.
