But Sunday, he said he changed his mind after reviewing the voting record of his opponent -- Barack Obama, a state senator and considered by some a rising star in the Democratic Party."I'll tell you by the time I got through the records, I was convinced that somebody had to run against Barack Obama," he said.
As a result, "I must leave the land of my forefathers in order to defend the land of my spirit, of my conscience and my heart -- and I believe that that land is Illinois."
No way he would win this, though. I'd put his chances of a victory at about 5%. Really, the balls of this guy to campaign in Illinois after criticizing Hillary for running in New York. Desperation seems to be the name of the game for Republicans lately.
