**********************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: …Just the last few weeks, you’ve talked about what a great city Chicago is. Does that mean that Mayor Daley is a great mayor?
Tom Roeser: Well, I also was the guy who interviewed [Cong.] Jesse Jackson, Jr. and said that Jesse would be a better mayor [than Daley]. But I think there is somebody who would-- first of all, I think there ought to be an African-American mayor. I think that it is time, again, to heal the city and to have an African-American mayor and I have a candidate. I haven’t talked to him.
Berkowitz: Who’s that?
Roeser: Danny Davis.
Berkowitz: You want Danny Davis to be Mayor of the City of Chicago? He’s your guy?
You’re supporting [Cong.] Danny Davis [D- Chicago, 7th CD]?
Roeser: He’s not “my guy.”
Berkowitz: This could be the kiss of death for Danny.
Roeser: Well, I know.
Berkowitz: Just kidding.
Roeser: Well, it probably is. But, he reminds me of Harold [Washington], in many ways. He’s a senior—sort of, 62 years old. Harold was that way.
Berkowitz: He has what [Cong.] Mark Kirk has called the “Voice of God.”
Roeser: The voice of God and also he has a presence and a grace.
Berkowitz: All right. So, you think he’d be a good mayor.
Roeser: He’d be a—
Berkowitz: Better than Jesse, Jr.? Better than Cong. Jesse Jackson, Jr.?
Roeser: You know why? Because Jesse Jr. would be burdened by his old man. And, the same name and everything else.
Berkowitz: So, you think one of the individuals, one of those African- American leaders runs against Mayor Daley in 2007?
Roeser: …I would hope that it would be Danny Davis?
Berkowitz: And, you think [Cong.] Danny Davis beats the Mayor if he runs against him?
Roeser: I think he could. If you can keep other African American leaders out, like [Cong.] Bobby Rush. I think that’s very important.
Berkowitz: Out, in what sense.
Roeser: Well, I worry about people being a ringer, having somebody come in and divide the Black community.
Berkowitz: Oh, draining votes [from Cong. Davis] and splitting the African-American vote. What about the Hispanic community? Will they support an African- American [candidate for Mayor]?
Roeser: I think they will.
Berkowitz: Luis Gutierrez? Right now he’s with the Mayor, he’s with Mayor Daley. [For another view on where Cong. Gutierrez may be, see Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass here].
Roeser: Now, he wants to be Mayor. That scares me.
Berkowitz: So, he may side with Mayor Daley this time around—until Daley leaves, right?
Roeser: I think Danny Davis would just be an outstanding guy.
**************************************************
Berkowitz: Let’s say [AG] Lisa [Madigan] runs, and you are saying she runs and beats [Gov.] Rod Blagojevich and wins the Democratic Primary [for Governor], right?
Roeser: Um, um.
Berkowitz: And then you are saying Lisa Madigan, the Democratic candidate for Governor runs against [the Republican primary winner] Jim Oberweis for Governor.
Roeser: Right, I think that would be a very good race. Clear cut differences…He’s gonna win. He’s gonna win because he’s gonna say he’s gonna cut taxes. [For more of Tom Roeser on Oberweis, see here].
