unclejimboGOP Meets to Pick Illinois Senate Hopeful
CHICAGO - A string of 13 largely unknown U.S. Senate hopefuls made their cases to the state's Republican leaders Tuesday, spending about 15 minutes each explaining why they would be the best choice to take on heavily favored Democrat Barack Obama.
One aspiring candidate has run for president twice but never lived in Illinois. Another wears a white wig like George Washington's and has been living out of a car he calls Air Ford One.
Three are business executives with little to no political experience. The only woman to interview worked in the Bush administration but was accused of sexual harassment by a subordinate. Another is a Libertarian.
I guess Mike Ditka was their last best hope... *snicker*
And let's not forget, folks... Attorney General Ashcroft lost a Senate bid to a dead man...
