More Ice Cream in Illinois' 14th Congressional District?
The Illinois Primary will roll around on February 5, and among the candidates, Jim Oberweis (R-Sugar Grove) is getting an endorsement nod from the Tribune Editorial Board. The ice cream heir-turned-politician, who asserts that his namesake brand has the highest dairy fat content of any ice cream in the world, has clearly failed to incorporate enough frozen fattiness into past campaigns. He lost a gubernatorial race in 2006 and two Senate races, one in 2002 and 2004. Next week, Oberweis will be at it again, vying for Congress in the 14th district—hopefully with way more butterfat in hand. Who said ice cream can't buy votes?
