Oberweis? In the 14th Congressional District, maybe...

[davsand]

Today on the local political (99% GOP) blog there is a discussion about Oberweis (Commonly called the Milk Nazi in certain circles) maybe running for the 14th District seat currently held by the "beloved" Denny Hastert..

I will not link to this local blog (I'll pm the addy to those who simply have to see it for themselves) but I'll tell you that this was posted by a guy who works for our local GOP Congress-critter.

One snippet:

"Right now his most likely primary challengers are State Sen. Chris Lauzen, a solid grass-roots conservative candidate himself and State Rep. Tim Schmitz, who some of the establishment are lining up behind. Neither has the money Oberweis can bring to bear. While both have had electoral success in low-profile races, neither has been in the sort of high-profile race this will be. Lauzen was the nominee for comptroller in 1998, but though statewide, that is still a low-profile race..."


Oh my.

1. denny must be talking about stepping down, then.

can't believe there would be this kind of talk, let alone action, if he was not thinking about hanging it up.
i went to school with lauzen's sister. she was definitely a 'heather'.
it would be great if this seat were up for grabs. the milk nazi would be my desired opponent. his previous runs show how beatable he is.
makes me sad to get to know that f'er. i grew up on oberwies milk and ice cream. it's like finding out that your favorite uncle is a child molester.
