mr_genius Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 08:53 AM) By the way, this story broke on the New York Times website. Damn liberal media. Oh wait. That would have been really funny if the New York Times ignored a huge scandal involving the Governor of New York. But you're right, it proves they aren't biased. FOX news covered the Larry Craig scandal, so that proves they are totally down the middle, not biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 11:18 AM) Chicago is so pro-Obama it isn't even funny. Everyday there are articles in the papers, but the whole Chicago media is in love with the guy. You hardly hear anything for Hillary or McCain. Naturally, they did elect him as Senator. Unless Obama's campaign was radically different, every statewide dem has to pull in huge Chicago numbers, break even in the collar counties and pray downstate doesn't turn out. If I was McCain, I would not spend a lot of time in Illinois, but I would not ignore it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ST endorsed Oberweis, and the Trib endorsed Foster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He attained a ranking of 1900 - a class A player. He ran the Fox Valley Chess Club successfully for many years making it one of the state's premier and most active chess venues. He also served a two year term as the Illinois Chess Association President. He has also served as an Illinois delegate for the United States Chess Federation. He served as a trustee of the American Chess Foundation, and the Chess Trust Fund - a non-for-profit organization. The race was over Hastert's seat, so it was a big pick up for the Dem's.

Cknolls Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 THE SCRIPT Mr. Spitzer (voice-over): “Recently my running mate, David Paterson, and I toured the school he attended as a child, walking past the very same hall signs he did 40 years ago. You begin your journey on Trustworthy Turnpike, make a left past Honesty Road, turn down Integrity Lane and eventually, if you’ve walked the right way, end up on Responsibility Road. Starting in January, we’ll be leading our state government on the same journey. And we’re going to make it all the way to the end.” This is priceless!

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 TIFWIW, but the NY Post is reporting that Spitzer has been visiting prostitutes for at least 10 years. It also says he is a millionaire, so, I don't think he's spending that $80,000 from tax money. Sounds like he is independently wealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
