You forgot Michael Patrick Flanagan in between. The only moment of clarity in the 5th in eons.
When I lived in Crook County, I had Bobby Rush, then Blago, then Jan Schakowsky (lived in three nabes). Was an election judge for the '98 election, where I saw firsthand the level of crossover Dem voting for Lyin' Ryan (he even won the 43rd and 44th wards in Chicago, and even got 35% in the 48th where I lived at the time).
I worked on Mike Flannagan’s campaign. Last moment of clarity
for this district.
Blago was known as a mental midget back then.
Of course that did’nt mean a whip to the democrat
sheeple. Look what they gave to America; Dick Durbin , Rahm Emm
anuel and the “genius” Obama. Honorable mention goes to the democrat Cook County board headed by Todd Stroeger, perhaps
one of the most inept county presidents ever.
