Say That Again

Today's Journal Star provided a closer look to several of the candidates in the March 21st primary. In Doug Finke's article covering the candidates for the Republican primary, there was an odd quote from Judy Barr Topinka.

If elected, Topinka said, she will live in the
Executive Mansion.

"It's everybody's home and mama is there," Topinka
said. "When mother is in the house, believe me, houses have much more
symbolic value."

What???

Topinka's endorsement from the Journal Star was no big surpirse, but I was a little surprised with their endorsement of Edwin Eisendrath for the Democratic primary. I only wish the editorial covered Eisendrath more and less of the shortcomings of Rod Blagojevich.

Common Sense of it All: It's a sad day when so many candidates running for the highest office in the state promise to live in the Executive Mansion if elected. Doesn't that come with the job?
