Political Analyst: Jackson Likely to Win Election by 'Wide Margin'

Despite U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s recent two-month medical leave and eventual bipolar disorder diagnosis, Dick Simpson says the congressman will probably still keep his seat.

 

Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. will win the November election with well over 50 percent of the vote regardless of a mysterious medical leave and diagnosis of bipolar disorder, said a leading Chicago-area political analyst.

The 2nd District congressman has been far from the campaign trail for the past two months, spending a good amount of time at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, but that won't stop him from keeping his seat, according Dick Simpson, a political science professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

"Assuming that he does come back in September and make a few appearances, which it appears he will, he’ll win the election in November," Simpson said in a phone interview.

Last week, Jackson's Chief of Staff Rick Bryant told the Associated Press the congressman could return in a matter of weeks, putting him back in action come early September.

Simpson attributed his prediction partly to Jackson having weak opposition, such as Republican candidate Brian Woodworth. He cited Jackson's big victory over veteran Debbie Halvorson in April as proof of the congressman's continuing political strength.

"He won the primary by 75 percent against a former congresswoman with a strong base," Simpson said. "If he can defeat a major candidate, he will defeat the minor candidates he is facing in the general election."

Big Obstacles

Simpson said Jackson still may not be out of the woods. The results of the congressional ethics investigation and the bribery trial of Raghuveer Nayak, Jackson's former fundraiser, could have a major effect on Jackson's political career, according to Simpson.

A lot will also hinge on how Jackson handles the bipolar disorder diagnosis, according to the elections expert.

"If he took up a reasonable role in Congress, he ought to be likely to continue," Simpson said. "His own choices, his health and the ethics committee investigation could affect him."

Voter Opinions

Some voters have said Jackson's medical leave and poor communication regarding it will lose him votes. 

"He should have come forward from the get-go," said Ramie Formentini-Zara on a Patch Facebook page. "I don't trust him anymore. He will not get my vote."

Faith Nichols also took to Facebook to criticize Jackson's handling of the situation. "He just disappeared without a word or without putting someone in his place to represent his district," she said.

Jackson's Republican opponent Brian Woodworth has also criticized the congressman for not being more open about his medical leave.

We have nothing but incompetent congressmen in this district, and I hate to say it they were all black. Now we have someone who is suffering with a psychotic disorder. And while they say this can be controlled with meds, the trouble with this is that once the patient starts to feel better, they go off their meds a lot of the times. When are people going to start to vote with their brains. The Democratic party is on its way out. WAKE UP!!

Though I would never vote for Jackson, to read race into this issue, is in and of itself racist! Illinois has nothing but incompetant Democrats holding public office, and they are mostly white. Start with Quinn, Madigan, and the long line of Daleys, and tell me that the white idiots don't outnumber the black ones. They have driven this state into bankruptcy with their cronie Irish mafia politics, and you have the nerve to mention race? Black politicians are only part of a larger white controlled Democrat machine that has sucked the state dry.

Jesse Jackson Jr. "protects" a racist named Dr. Larry J. Goodman, CEO & President of Rush University Medical Center... go see for yourself.

www.drlarryjgoodmanexposed.com
Eight black & latino medical students were wrongfully dismissed for uncovering a cheating scheme at Rush Medical College where the white medical students were given unlimited make-up exams to expunge legitimate failures but this was in clear violation of written school policy. No more than two (2) make-ups were allowed per quarter and only a 'single' make-up exam per course. The blacks & latino medical students were held to the strict standard of the make-up rule.

One black student even failed no classes but had his 'pass' grades reversed and made 'failures'. He was forced to repeat the entire freshman year. He was later dismissed from the program.

Jackson, in a meeting on 6/20/12 at his 71st & Yates office at noon, was shown the clear evidence and said he would file a bill to help the minority student regain access to the 1991 Civil Rights Act so they have the chance to regain their stolen medical careers. 10 days later, Jackson 'reneged' on his promise to help them by filing the crucial legislation in Congress.

We later found out why.

Jackson takes and receives campaign contributions from Dr. Larry J. Goodman. We see Jackson as anti-black, anti latino, & anti-"SIMPLE JUSTICE". He is a classic sell-out politician. Even with overwhelming proof of a burning wrong, Jackson leaves these students behind while they are forever barred to go to any medical school in the country but the white students graduated and are practicing medicine. Jackson is a disgrace to his race. And to add insult to injury, Goodman & Rush "Now label these dismissed minority students MD's" on Rush's Alumni Website in a obvious cover-up.

The moral is put your trust on someone that is exposing these facts so you are not misled into thinking the incumbent (Jackson) is someone you thought he was but find out the real truth. If you don't believe me, go to www.drlarryjgoodmanexposed.com and believe as the old saying goes, "Believe your lying eyes."

I would be re missed if I did any less. Case in point, "LOOK" at Romney & his side kick Ryan...ALL they are doing is "ATTACKING" PRES. OBAMA.

The real deal on Joe Lake and Marcus Lewis and their claim that the City News was paid $40,000 not to write anything else about the Marcus Lewis campaign. Why would these guys lie? They believe that if they can get get the City News to say Congressman Jackson paid us to not write about Congressman Jackson, then Jackson would be removed from the ballot because of criminal and ethics violations. They wrongly believed that by continuing to make charges against the City News that they would eventually force us to go along with them to stop the slander. Well, they were wrong, candidate Lewis may be shocked but his allegations and attempts to influence the City News to lie on Congressman Jackson may well constitute a violation of Federal Election laws, we have filed a complaint against Mr. Lewis as a result of the charges and attempts to intimidate and the City News.

Thank you Chicagoheightsmike. I have spent over four decades attempting to improve the quality of life for people in this region. I was very hopeful that when the district was changed that new resources would be added to the Kankakee community and I felt that that new resource would include able people to help solve the problems across the region. It was very disappointing to learn that Mr. Lewis and his group, if he actually has a group behind him, are so negative. I still believe that there are men and women in the new district who are willing and able to improve the quality of life in the district and hopefully, those people will work together to increase the economic and social and educational opportunities available in the district. The district is one of the prime areas of development in Illinois and we need leadership that can work towards positive growth which will benefit our children and grandchildren as well as ourselves. Mr. Lewis has shown he not that leader, hopefully either Jesse Jr. or Brian Woodworth are!

Amazing how lying and shading, coloring, shaving of the truth has become an art form. You lost fair and square to Woodworth who you in your newspaper vilified he and the President of Olivet Nazarene University, Dr. Bowling, then take $40,000 from the Jacksons and talk against them saying you despised them but you will take their money.

Now you are holding Woodworth up as a leader?! You are an unstable man trying to be right on all angles on both sides of wrong and wrong. You want to be liked but then you play smack down but also desire to tender the olive branch to the same person.

That is call double-minded or "two-faced".

But, below are your words as heard by this witness...lie or deny with you sadly it doesn't seem to matter, does it Mr. Taylor?

I am not intimidated for telling the truth so why would I look over my shoulder, I am not Jesse Jackson Jr., he has that problem as he is hiding out in his house in Dupont Circle in Washington, DC. You better tell the truth to the FBI or you will lose and go to jail and at what cost, losing your freedom?! Not me. I like my freedom and not doing the unspeakable unimaginable and go to jail? That is a cost only Jesse Jr. and James Taylor seem to have no problems in risking.

It seems so strange that candidate Marcus Lewis has so few supporters but somehow managed to garner enough names on a petition to get on the ballot for the November elections. Guess nobody took a real hard look at the papers. Maybe a postal worker who has done nothing wrong would not worry about losing his job and retirement benefits. Guess getting convicted of a federal crime would cancel out those funds but then if one did not do anything wrong, and had God always on their side, and if they could call themselves honest and believe it themselves and when they had doubts had a good friend like Mr. Lake to second their opinion of themselves, then guess they would be ok. Guess they would be free to slander others and maybe, just maybe, beg, borrow or even steal a vote or so! As for me, I can't think of anything about candidate Marcus Lewis or what he may say that would be worth $40,000 to anyone, except maybe Marcus Lewis but then if it cost $40,000 what would it be. As for me, I can't wait until November to see and maybe hear the last of Marcus Lewis and Joe Lake.

I am a shame of having met a scoundrel like you sir. That $40,000 must be reminding you that you must go and do a woeful hatchet job on me fronting for the Jacksons. Your soul must be twisting in knots as your actions against me, who you have only met twice, think you know me well enough to continue the way you are. Have you no morals?

Don't dare say who made the call, but there is a concern here and we will notify the proper authorities just in case. You take care chicagoheightsmike.
After this is all over, lets get together and discuss some issues in the district and maybe we can combine efforts along with some others to get things moving. I love the district and the communities that compose it. In fact one of the former officials in Chicago Heights, Dick Derkin was a close friend. He has passed away but had moved to Michigan.
