Two Cheers for President Stroger. Hip Hip…
If you missed Political Shootout last night, you missed a classic in political analysis and punditry. Unlike our Senators, Representatives, and Governor who have shied away from meeting with constituents in this contentious political environment, Cook County Board President Todd Stroger faced his opponents head on, appearing for a spin-free hour on conservative talk-radio giant WLS AM890 with CDOBs Chairman Tom Roeser and Jeff Berkowitz.
Todd Stroger more than adequately represented himself to the listeners and callers of the Worlds Largest Radio Station to prove that he has the political heft to run Cook County. One may disagree with Todd Stroger’s actions as Cook County Board President, but he certainly has shown a willingness to participate in the democratic process that has eluded the rest of the Chicago Political Establishment.
We’ll reserve the third cheer (Hooray!) till the day that President Stroger drops his painful sales tax hike, but until then 2 out of 3 is real accomplishment for a Chicago Politician.

“Todd Stroger more than adequately represented himself…”?
You must be jesting. Were we listening to the same show?
The only things Todd Stroger adequately represented was that he does not even know how many employees are working for the county; that he broke every campaign promise he made to the taxpayers; that he hired, and continues to hire, incompetent cronies like Tony Cole, Ron Burleson and others; and, that he does not even have a clue, in his political isolation, as to his non-electability.
Yes, it was quite a display. However, none of it positive for Todd.
TP,
He gets two points for showing up, which distinguishes him from the rest of the Illinois Democratic power structure.
