**********************************************************
Fifteen year State Senator Kirk Dillard (R-Westmont), current Senate minority whip and former DuPage County Republican Party Chairman, debates and discusses with show host and executive legal recruiter Jeff Berkowitz whether Obama was Senate President Jones' show pony, whether the legislation worked on jointly by Dillard and Obama was significant and effective, why Obama is the first African-American to have a serious shot at being President and whether Obama's momentum has been seriously slowed by the revelations involving Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers.
Does Senator Dillard regret doing the TV ad for Obama? Was the ad an endorsement? Is there a similarity between Obama and McCain? Could the Blagojevich meltdown and the toxic tone in Springfield among Dems help the Republicans be resurrected in Illinois. Are the Republicans in Illinois now the party of ethics and better jobs. Why was it hard for the State GOP party leaders to dump National Republican Party committeeman Bob Kjellander? Did Kjellander do anything illegal? Unethical? Was he playing footsies with the Democrats? Much more than footsies?
Is there still an Illinois Combine? If so, would Senator Dillard like to destroy it? All of it? Some of it? Did the 2003-04 ten billion dollar pension bond sale make sense? Did some in the Illinois Republican Senate Caucus feel those Republicans who supported the Blagojevich bond sale (including Sen. Dillard) had knifed the Republican caucus in the back? Had they?
John Cox, 2008 Republican Primary candidate for President, suggested that Andy McKenna Sr.'s business interests, e.g., his ownership interest in the Chicago Bears may have an impact on Andy McKenna Jr.'s political statements and actions he has taken in his role as State GOP chairman. What does Senator Dillard think about that?
Is Illinois the best state for pundits, scholars and law enforcement to examine the intersection of money, business and politics? Do the family financial interests of State GOP Chairman and 2004 U. S. Senate Republican Primary Candidate Andy McKenna, Jr. relate to that intersection? Does that intersection involve relationships and the interaction between McDonald's, the Chicago Bears, Burger King, the McKennas’ family business, Mayor Daley, the McKenna's political activities and the City of Chicago government? Is there a a symbiosis in Illinois between the people who are making money through government and business and the politics of the situation? Is the symbiosis called the Daley-Ryan Combine, the Daley-Thompson combine or the Daley-McKenna Combine?
