Not that I don’t believe you, but as a Wisconsinite, I try to IGNORE IL politics. THAT situation w/Ryan caught my eye. ;)
A lot of info has been scrubbed. But look up, jaystoneformayor. I cannot post the link, but Obama friendlies were able to knock out Obama’s four primary opponents by invalidating as many signatures as necessary so he could get the nomination. He also stood against Bobby Rush and the Panthers pitched a fit. Rush won anyway and, when Obama surfaced again, he was running in a different district and won. There is so much corruption and it goes back two decades.
