Aug. 23, 2012 is the latest that a candidate can withdraw from the Nov. 6, 2012 election. Joe Lake, Chicago

Remember folks, this is the same district that reelected Gus Savage; Jessie is a shoe-in.

Maybe not, but lets make sure to elect someone who will not embarrass us!

Jesse Jackson, Jr. In "Deep Depression"..., Huffington Post, Aug. 17, 2012. What happens if Jesse Jackson, Jr. decides to withdraw from the race? It seems to me that's his decision, not that of the voters of the ILCD2nd District. http://huff.to/S1GdxK

OK People, lets get real. We need a congress person that will actually work for our district. Forget the airport, that is a dead horse. The state is in enough trouble without trying to build another useless airport. Jesse is toast, and we need a hands on congressperson, not a con artist.

Isn't he currently in hiding because he is being investigated for trying to buy Obamas vacant Senate seat? Time to vote out the crooks.

Between his loyal wife and his blonde cocktail waitress hostess, Junior might be just the legislator needed to give polygamy and multiple marriage the same legitimacy as Gay marriage is now enjoying.....

the 2 dist is toast as long as JR or a TPARTY candidate is elected is TOAST He is the represenative of the same ole same ole the MANNY HOFFMANS as much as the T party the only difference they do not believe in any economic benefit to anyone except if it can be BAINIZATION while JR is looking out for dad and the family JACKSON!
where is the outrage at the DEM'S begging for a few bucks from the mentals who voted for JR and THE president they were the real believers in CHANGE while the MANNY HOFFMAN FRIENDS and MACAU pimps pour BILLIONS into unfit MITT'S coffers while their surrogates have purged millions of voters from WIS-OHIO-PA and FLA the HERMAN CAIN ATTY GEN has sat on his corporate A#* waiting his promotion as a CORPORATE LAWYER it has gone on since 2000 and when they took office in 2008 3-5 years ago didn't they think they would never stop until the PRESIDENT WAS defeated for a second term and now 80 days till the provincial ballots are thrown out the fools who will lose their MEDICAID-MEDICARE and SSA as well as SSI WILL SEND A FEW BUCKS TO THE OBAMA-DEBBIE WASSERMANN SCHULTZ CAMPAIGN and likely reelect a very FLAWED MENTAL to represent them.

WHILE AWAITING A REPLY FROM THE T-PARTY WHICH DID NOT COME I AM THINKING IF THERE WAS A NEED FOR A REP of the PEOPLE IN THE 2nd DIST TO DO AND GET SOME SUPPORT IT WOULD BE RAISE THE MIN WAGE TO $11 Jr is not alone there are a majority of Dem's in CONGRESS who are GELDINGS and friggin cowards it is the ONLY thing a rep of this district can do the days of going along and drinking the KOOL AID is over even his supporters see how much of a FIREWALL daddy and co has put around him.
we have a min wage like a CHINESE coolie how many jobs have they brought home meanwhile FRANCE min wage is $12-Canada of course has a superior safety net that makes ALEC and the SCUMMY KOCH bros lose sleep over. what might happen.
CATERPILLAR went back to work after a 3 month strike and record profits pay their workers about the same as when the strike began while the CEO gets 16 million a yr, more pay would help MEDICAID and FOOD STAMPS which is part of the ROMNEY dog whistle the majority of low wage workers are employed by WAL MART-TARGET, McDonald and big corporations all of the big boys ave 10 million to their top executives
WHEN has the absent flawed and articulate congressman sponsored a raise of the min wage the only ting that would have helped the unemployed and working poor in the 2 dist or the dist where he lives and sends his kids to school in?

Isn't it funny how we only see these politicians when they want money, at election time or when they are involved in a scandal? What a bunch of scammers. We've been had.

I am the right person at this time.

You are not the right person Marcus Lewis. Nobody knows you, and we are tired of getting scammed by people who are not represented of people in this district. The Dems have had 4 years, and have squandered their chance. The economy is still broken, gas is still high and we are still giving away money to people who arent willing to go work for a living.

Joe Lake, you are wrong. It is the business of the district. We can help Jr with his decision by not voting for him, because if we do and he still stays in hiding, then we have elected and are paying for someone to keep on scamming our district.
I believe he is in hiding. Well that is his decision, however, we need someone who will represent our interests, not their own.

No one knew David before he slew Goliath. And 'Babyboomer' is not on the ballot but Marcus Lewis is on the ballot. So start to get know me by visiting the website.

I know that I am just what this district is looking for ie., an honest hard working man who has dedicated my life toward fighting for those that have been wronged. The top 1% don't work but there are those that want to continue to 'give' over to them commitments to pay for the tax cuts they don't deserve anymore., and the masses of the people have to struggle with cuts in vital programs to pay for them.
Oh yes I am the right person to be elected congressman of the 2nd District on Nov. 6th, 2012.
Sorry, Republicans won't win in this district. If you won't vote for a 'Fresh Start' with a break from the Democrtic Machine (this is the best opportunity this district EVER HAD!), there are plenty of people who will. I firmly believe that.

Jr in rehab for BI-POLAR means he has the BI-POLAR vote locked up they are among the 90 million in the land who do not vote the others know nothing will be done and can be done because the 2nd DIST is like so many nationwide it is in this case a fiefdom for clowns MADIGOON has given it to them after he took all the patronage from TOOTHLESS and unfit TERRY MATHEWS and KEVIN COLON TWNSP COMMITTEEMEN and turned it over to his STATE REP and ally BOBBY RITA head of a similar but more sinister nepotism machine in CALUMET PARK and gave the JACKSONS after they conspired with the AIPAC rep and GOP leader of BLOOM TWNSP Manny Hoffman the 2nd DIST for life if they so desire, all of them take orders from the same people AIPAC WALL STREET CLEAR CHANNEL MEDIA and LOBBYISTS of ISRAEL who told MANNY to rid congress of the sole opposition to the ZIONIST NAZI machine, when MEL REYNOLDS ran against GUS the very potent GOP of that time turned out 99% in a DEM PRIMARY for MEL and then thru the poor guy under the bus,what only matters to the scum is no opposition to the NETANYAHOOOO gunmen.
They know noone knows or cares about the LIBERTY and the POLLARD case because FOX ignores it.
Marcus or whoever may need a job but JR can talk to himself all day in MAYO and be the 2 dist congressmen for life now that he screwed up being a Senator

What he do for white people

this forum is turning into a freak show of the intoxicated
wolf =eddie minster = butch patrick
wolf = butch now it makes sense!!!
i thought the patch had such potential

are u out of med's what are u talking about?

I am wondering, where were was all the indignation expressed here, and there, on Tuesday March 20th. That's when the election was "held". If you did not exercise your vote then, you have gotten what you deserve. If you voted for the Congressman, you "really got" what you deserve. I Think Therefore, I Vote ...

absolutely I voted for myself

No! He needs to release himself from politics and for his own health and go into another line of work! I will not vote for him for that reason.......along with the fact that he is a crook!

Greed has taken over Chicago! This is payback time for Rahm Emanuel now!

flopping around like a big fish out of water. Wait, maybe there is someone else to blame, maybe someone got paid not to write about the "remarkable" Marcus Lewis. Now we hear Jackson Jr. is out of the hospital, back in DC and may be out and about before the Nov. elections. Seems there will be a campaign after all. We will be holding some candidates forums in Kankakee, come on down Lewis and answer the questions, let the people see you and judge for themselves and bring you boy Mr. Lake with you, will be very, very interesting for everybody. By the way, is it true?

I am surprised you are speaking to me but what do you mean by is it true? By the way what remarkable have you used your paper to write about me lately. And finally what date s have you secured that JCkson will come out of hiding and attend your forum while he is on his sympathy tour?

If jesse jr is reelected we are officially a pathetic country of idiots!!

I was right. I told the truth.
