"In The Spotlight: Judy Baar Topinka, Candidate for Illinois Gov."











"Judy Baar, what the hell were you really thinking?!" Ms. Topinka who's been campaigning for Illinois Gov. for over a year has been nothing but a thorn in the side of current Gov. Blagoyavich. For his part, he hasn't been too kind to his female Republican counterpart either. Absent from what could have been a good triple threat match was the "Green" party. You see, nobody cares about them anyway! While yesterday was the last day for everyone to take to the streets of Chicago and shake hands with people getting off the trains and kissing babies, Topinka set up shop near Wrigley Field to meet and greet the Cubs fans. The first mistake was using a sports team to reel in votes. Not only that, but during 2005 her and her family made it no secret that as long as it seemed The White Sox were destined for The World Series, they were going to support the South Siders all the way. Since Sprinfield is a hop, skip, and a jump away from St. Louis, maybe it's time to put on a Cardinals hat and support the new World Champs?! Things really took a turn for the worst however, when she spoke to a crowd in front of Chicago's landmark ballpark yesterday. She said that she stands in front of Wrigley Field because Gov. Blagoyovich spent more time there watching baseball games than working on issues at his office. "He spent so much time inside there watching games, they should have hired him after they fired Dusty Baker", she said. In a final blow, she suggested that he and The Cubs share a common thread: They're both losers. While both funny and true, perhaps not too smart!
