Did Senator Dillard endorse Obama?
Jeff Berkowitz: …they would say you endorsed Barack Obama, essentially.
Republican Gov Candidate State Senator Kirk Dillard: I certainly did not endorse Barack Obama. I was a McCain delegate, raised money for McCain. That little snippet, five [or] six seconds, twenty some works, limited-limited by agreement to a Democrat Primary, was about ethics. The President, when he was a State Senator, I was the lead sponsor, he was the co-sponsor of the first ethics changes in Illinois law in more than twenty five years, and he took immense grief from his caucus for co-sponsoring an ethics bill with me, a Republican, and anytime, Jeff, a Democrat works with me on a Republican principle like ethics, I’m going to say ..I’m going to acknowledge that they did it. And, it was limited, it had a limited scope. It certainly wasn’t an endorsement. And—
Dillard worked with Obama?
Jeff Berkowitz: But, you worked with Barack over the years on other things, too. You worked with him on capitol punishment reform, right?
Senator Kirk Dillard: Correct.
Jeff Berkowitz: You respect Barack Obama, don’t you?
Senator Kirk Dillard: I do, in limited ways. Yes, it depends on the issue.
Jeff Berkowitz: You knew him pretty well. He was a state senator-you were a state senator [Ed. note, they overlapped in the state senate for eight years].
Does Dillard disagree with Obama's Presidential policies?
Senator Kirk Dillard: I also disagree with [President Obama] on most things that he is doing as the President of the United States. But, you know, this country, this state needs people, in a limited fashion, to be able to work across party lines, across racial lines, across geographic lines and while I disagree with the President probably on 95% of what he does, when it comes to trying to fix a system that put innocent men on death row, or when it comes to passing the first ethics bill in twenty-five years, I’m going to work with the gentleman.
