@WardUp: In other words, we'll get to see this attitude in action: "Tee hee, I do believe that the man worked for a living at some point. Oh, how very droll of him!" Wondering when Chicago turned into San Francisco ...

By the way, as a Republican, I am also nauseated by that "grass roots" claim. Paging George Orwell. This campaign is the exact opposite of "grass roots. I don't know yet if this guy is good or bad. I can only say that I do not trust the Illinois GOP leaders to do anything correctly (notice that I didn't say anything "right.")

Headline writers aren't going to let up. They will cleverly announce his "concrete" solutions and that he hopes to "cement" his relationship with various voting blocks. When he addresses those voting blocks, he'll likely speak in a "gravelly" voice.

"'He's not opposed to personally investing a significant amount because he believes in this. He made it clear he wants it to be a grassroots campaign,' Andy Sere, Baldermann's former campaign manager told the Southtown Star." Wow, do these guys understand what a grass-roots campaign is? That's hilarious. Oh, and I hope someone's looking into Baldermann's "obligations". It doesn't seem to quite square for me: winning a primary, only to decide you're "too busy" for the job.
