Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is a strong leader and will make a
great candidate for something big. Sorry Barack, Jesse is the real thing...

1. Very smart man, from what I've seen.
And a genuine liberal, who wants to amend the constitution to make education (and health care?) rights.

2. JJJ Will Be The Next Mayor of Chicago......
that's what I was told when I was in D.C. in June by some insiders on the Hill.

3. He'll be the next mare.
Whenever Daley decides to call it quits.

4. Jesse is an outstanding spokesperson for the downtrodden but I
don't believe he's qualified for an executive position.

His power would be diminished as a member of a legislative body where he would be forced to go along with either the Dem or GOP party.

On balance, his greatest strength lies with his ability and fearless championing of causes for "We the People".

Go Jesse go but don't let people convince you to run for elected office.

5. Jesse Jackson Jr represents IL's 2nd District in the US House of
Reps.

He's Jesse Jackson's son.

6. You are correct, mea culpa. I agree that JJ Jr is a worthy candidate for
higher office.
:hi:
