The talk of Weller resigning has fueled significant speculation as to who would be joining Bob Gorman in the 11th district race for Congress.

According to Gorman, the names that are surfacing tend to be the same names people in the area are familiar with, state senators and state representatives…“these are the same people who have proven they cannot run the State of Illinois.” Gorman said, “If a budget cannot be put together in Illinois – it is not because of testorone or estrogen - it is because of the people who are trying to run Illinois simply are not capable of doing it. Now the party hierarchy wants to promote them to Washington…” Gorman thinks that Washington is enough of a mess.

Gorman suggested to any incumbents planning to run, “your record will be looked at closely and you will have to be prepared to defend it – if you are a Democrat – be prepared to be ‘Swiftboated’.”

Gorman further added, “I believe we need new people in our elected positions…I am new and I have positions I’m not just running on my name recognition.”

“As the race goes on issues have to be discussed, issues like: the war in Iraq, medical research (stem cell research), health care (national system or not), social security solvency, Medicare/Medicaid, immigration reform, balanced budgets and international trade.”

Gorman suggested that people go to his website (www.gormanforcongress.com) over the next few weeks and look at his positions.
