Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass is dining with each of the candidates for Illinois governor, today he writes about morning meet-up with Jim Ryan, whom this blog has endorsed.The last time Jim Ryan ran for governor of Illinois, he offered voters a clear choice between a man who never took a dime in public life and Rod Blagojevich.
And though many would like to forget it, they chose Blagojevich.
"The infrastructure of the Illinois Republican Party has never really been for me," Ryan said over breakfast the other day as we talked about that 2002 campaign and his current run in the crowded GOP primary for governor. "I'm not a deal-maker. And senior Republicans knew my reputation. They knew I wouldn't be flexible."
Kass ends his column this way:
There's something about Jim Ryan that bears a sober reconsideration. He's not the same as he was just a few years ago, and neither is Illinois.
