Better than Chicago Tonight: Video-Streaming Tony Peraica

Disappointing Date last night? Need an uplifting experience? Watch Tony Peraica, Republican nominee for Cook County Board President, on your computer, right now. [See here for the Podcast Page]. The video and audio podcast page has twenty recent episodes of "Public Affairs," including, in addition to Peraica, Congresswoman Bean [D- Barrington, 8th CD]; 8th CD Republican nominee David McSweeney [Barrington Hills]; Democratic State Rep. nominee Judith-Rae Ross [Skokie] and State Senator Ira Silverstein [D-Chicago].

Peraica discusses with show host Jeff Berkowitz, among many other topics, some potential replacements for Cook County Board President and County Board President Democratic nominee John Stroger, should the 76 year old incumbent President decide to take himself off the ballot due to the severe stroke he suffered a week before the March 21, 2006 Primary election. The possible replacements include some Great White Hopes, a number of African-Americans and some Hispanics.

However, the uplifting part of the show is Peraica's view that many, or even most, voters may make their choice in the general election based on who is the best candidate, not on the color of the candidate's skin. Paraphrasing Hemingway's character Jake's last line of the book, in a very different context in The Sun Also Rises, "Isn't it nice to think so." Indeed, for precedent, you need look no further than the 2004 Democratic U. S. Senate Primary, won going away by that skinny kid from the South Side of Chicago with the funny sounding name-- in an election said at the time to transcend race.
