Oberweis is optimistic

Crossposted on Marathon Pundit.

West suburban dairy businessman Jim Oberweis is doing--so far--better than expected tonight in his quest to become the Republican Party's nominee for Governor of Illinois. Judy Baar Topinka, the state treasurer, is the favorite tonight.

J. Matt Barber was just on Fox 32 Chicago talking up Obi, he's Oberweis' press secretary.

Barber's best known outside the state as the man who lost his job last year allegedly because of a column he wrote critical of the homosexual lifestyle.

Matt has since filed suit against Allstate

We need a major upset tonight...

Is there still hope?

Looks like the votes are coming in slow from Cook. Judy is stronger there, I would guess.

No hope.

Not allegedly. Did you see the IL dept of employment report on his appeal for unemployment?

I didn't see the report, but I'm familar with the case.

As for the "allegedly?"

Allstate has a diff. view of things, and although I think it's ridiculous to think they'd sue me for a Marathon Pundit/Illinoize blog post, you can't be too careful. Remember that Proviso guy Nyberg got sued for something he blogged about.
