Bill Foster's campaign sent out e-mails this early morning with headlines looking ahead at a Foster vs. Oberweis showdown on March 8, but there's still no definitive answer on whether Foster has beaten John Laesch ... or won't be invovled in a recount of the Democratic primary. Our online results show both candidates with 43 percent of the vote -- Foster with a 31,910 to 31,587 lead over Laesch.
We're chasing after a Web update, and we'll keep you posted. Right now, the numbers we're adding up don't jibe.
How much does a federal office cost?
After 15 million dollars spent on running for Governor, The Senate and now Congress, Oberweis finally has an office to call his own. What a shame on our political system. This man represents the all of the bad things in America. Oberweis is a racist, a sexist and a conservative. I'm ashamed to say I live in the 14th District.
So I guess we cant count your vote then roger...
Republicans can't count on my vote in the 14th district now (still haven't decided on Presidential). I might have voted for Lauzen, but never for Oberweis. Besides his mean-spirited tactics, I found it rather disturbing that in one breath he'd be talking about how Washington was broken and needed to be fixed, then in the next breath about how he was endorsed by Denny Q. Hastert and other members of congress -- in other words, the very people who either broke it or kept it broken all these years!! And that's the "legacy" that Oberweis pledged to continue. These people who railed against the "tax and spend democrats" turned away from the Republican party's stated ideals of fiscal responsibility and small government, and turned it into the "borrow and spend" party of big brother government.
