I'm not sure this is much of a story. I mean, politicians and campaigns edit their Wikipedia entries all the time. They just did it in a stupid way.

I guess it's enough to distract us tech savvy, politically knowledgeable politico watchers, though ...

Rich Miller's whacking in the article I referenced is pretty hard, and from one of the top, if not the top, reporter in the state

The story is quite weird.  Bill Brady's page is now locked.  See the link above for the deets.

Usually, it's Aaron Schock who gets whacked pretty hard in those parts ...

Sneakily editing your Wiki page is one thing.  Getting into an edit war and publicly embarrassing your campaign is another.  This is stupid to the max.

It strikes me as especially odd that he cares about -- or worries about -- his position on gay marriage that much.

For a gay man, he sure has pretty terrible fashion sense.

[On the ProgressIL story above: Yeah, I don't really know what to make of that, outside of it being weird, and tangent to the wikipedia story.  I took a glance at a few other controversial senate bills he sponsored and couldn't find any other ones scrubbed outside of his mass-slaughter-of-sheltered-animals one, but he publicly removed his sponsorship when a few groups like the "Humane Society" objected]


On the Shock photo: Mr. M, the skintight plaid & light blue belt don't do it for you?

[quote]According to the blogosphere, the image was “jamming up the gay staff listserv” on Capitol Hill.

“Obviously, it was what I thought was a sporty outfit,” Mr. Schock said of his picnic attire. “It was probably a little too bright, in retrospect.”

...

“Good supporters who have single daughters say, ‘Hey, you need to take my daughter out,’ ” Mr. Schock said. “And it’s awkward.”

Did you see him on Top Chef last week? Not for his clothing, but for his demeanor. He didn't strike me as gay so much as very tightly controlled, which isn't a surprise.

Hypothetically, couldn't those be related?

Oh certainly. It pushes back the year when we might hear about him being gay, though.
 
I think it's juvenile for people (not on this forum, but in the media) to read "gay" into his outfit, he's trying to learn a certain style of seasonal dress favored by affluent Southern Republicans and I personally wouldn't have a clue how to go about dressing properly for one of those shindigs. Gays don't dress like that unless they're already part of an affluent WASPy culture, and then the shirt would be a size smaller.

Alright, alright.  I don't think any other male in Congress has a bright blue belt or those pants anywhere in their wardrobe though haha

Brady is gonna come much closer than Judy Baar Topinka did, but I believe that Quinn will be able to win this with around six percent of the vote. Notwithstanding his tax problems as well as his personal issues.

Not according to this site:
http://www.electionprojection.com/2010elections/governors10.php

Other than Michigan, I'd love to see Illinois elect a Republican governor. Their current gun laws desperately need to be changed. And Brady seems to be the only one who cares about passing a shall issue law for carrying concealed weapons. The fact of the matter is their crime will not decrease until such a law has been passed.

Quinn isn't a financier fundraiser like Rod Blagojevich and neither is Giannoulias. They will get the cash they need from the DNC come Labor day to catch up in the polls.

The tax issues will loom large. The public is far more in tune with the state's fiscal condition and its impact on the economy than any other issue in this race. The DGA is spending big bucks to move the focus onto other issues. However, this week's statements by Quinn's budget director that there will be a 67% income tax increase will be picked up by far more Illinoisans than those that follow incidents like the Wikipedia war.

What makes you think Schock is gay? I doubt that.
