Berkowitz plays “Stump Dick Kay.”
Jeff Berkowitz: Daley gets a lot of the Black vote because he [Daley] has been there for Stroger and Stroger, or his machine in the 8th Ward will be there for him.
Dick Kay: But, don’t forget Harold Washington won for Mayor in a three way race against—
Berkowitz: Who is going to be the third person there?
Dick Kay: I don’t know [show ends]
*************************************
Dick Kay, Political Editor and Host of City Desk at NBC-5 News, answers a few questions, on the various upcoming editions of the Public Affairs program- from show host and executive legal recruiter Jeff Berkowitz about the 2006 Guv race, other statewide races, the fall Cook County Board President race and the 2007 Mayor’s race.
"Public Affairs," is featuring Dick Kay, this coming week in 35 Chicago Metro suburbs on Comcast Cable; a week from this coming Monday night [April 24] through-out the City of Chicago on CANTV; And, on the "Public Affairs," podcast page on your computer, shortly [See here].
The "Public Affairs," podcast page gives you a choice of 20 different episodes of “Public Affairs," including shows featuring the Republican nominee and Democratic incumbent in the 8th CD, McSweeney and Bean, respectively; Tony Peraica, Republican nominee for Cook County Board President; Forrest Claypool, who came close to beating John Stroger in the 2006 Democratic Primary for Cook County Board President; and Cong. Jan Schakowsky [D-Evanston, 9th CD]. [See here].
*******************************************************
Dick Kay started at NBC-5 News as a writer/producer in 1968, but found himself covering, as an NBC reporter, what became known as the police riots at the Democratic National Convention. Kay, who became a full time NBC reporter in 1970, will step down on June 1, but not before he hosts one last key discussion— between Guv candidates Blagojevich and Topinka, on NBC-5 News' City Desk in May. Be there or be square. No levis or capris, please—as the radio announcer used to say when inviting youngsters to rock concerts at El Monte Legion Stadium, just outside of LA. BTW, Kay started in radio, but not in LA.
**********************************************
A Happy Easter and a Happy Passover to all our readers and viewers who celebrate such.
*******************************************
Dick Kay: …I wish him all the success in the world. I wish him long life but I think there will not be a John Stroger on the ballot in November [for Cook County Board President]. I think what you asked earlier is—there probably will be another Democratic candidate [for that position].
Jeff Berkowitz: Emil Jones, state senator [and President of the State Senate]?
Dick Kay: Emil Jones is a possibility. Terry Peterson, Chairman of the Housing Authority.
Berkowitz: Chicago Housing Authority.
Dick Kay: My guess would be Commissioner Bobbie Steele [,too]. Mike Madigan is going to have a big say about this, the Speaker. He is going to have a major play in this. Some people said Dorothy Brown [Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County]. Dorothy Brown has an exploratory committee for Mayor. She is not going to be picked when she is ready to challenge the Mayor
Berkowitz:: They don’t feel that they can trust her.
Dick Kay: They don’t feel that they can control her.
Berkowitz: What about Great White Hopes [for County Board President]. Anybody there, Jim Houlihan?
Dick Kay: I mentioned Houlihan and Mike Sheehan. I think they’d have a fight on their hands if they didn’t go with an African American but…
Berkowitz: There will be somebody running against Daley [for Mayor]…
Dick Kay: I think there will be somebody. The question is—
Berkowitz: Somebody of substance? Somebody who is credible?
Dick Kay: I think [Rev. and State Senator] Meeks wants to run for Mayor. And, I am not sure, but I believe Rev., I mean
Berkowitz: Jesse Jackson, Jr.
Dick Kay: Cong. Jesse Jackson, Jr. is weighing the possibility. You know [Cong.]Luis Gutierrez wants to run for Mayor and has said so, publicly.
Berkowitz: But, they can’t all do it, so
Dick Kay: He [Cong. Gutierrez] won’t do it if Cong. Jackson does it.
Berkowitz: Luis won’t.
Dick Kay: Won’t, but he’ll be with him [Jackson].
Berkowitz: That would make sense for Rev. Meeks, who is a good guy and getting known and runs a big church—but not quite the same broad city [wide] base and name recognition as Cong. Jesse Jackson, Jr. So, are we looking at Jesse, Jr. taking on Daley at this point?
Dick Kay: If Daley runs.
Berkowitz: Oh, he’s going to run- for sure.
Dick Kay: Provided nothing happens again to his health and provided these scandals don’t continue.
Berkowitz: If it is Jesse, Jr. against Mayor Daley, who wins that?
Dick Kay: Tough race.
Berkowitz: Daley gets a lot of the Black vote because he [Daley] has been there for Stroger and Stroger, or his machine in the 8th Ward will be there for him.
Dick Kay: But, don’t forget Harold Washington won for Mayor in a three way race against—
