I like Tony, but I wish he would just do the job we elected him to. I think he just likes being a candidate, and if there's an election you'll find Tony at the front of the line. This is causing him to lose more and more credibility as shown in this last election, and hurt more with his sore loser antics.

And maybe it's better if he stays on the Cook County Board to fight for us there instead becoming the State's Attorney. Agree 100% and that's why I voted for him for that spot. I hope he keeps up his efforts on that Board.

I like Tony Peraica. He has probably saved Cook County residents and business a ton of money by fighting John Stroger's and then Tood Stroger's Spendapaloozas. However, this campaign stupidity shows that his judgement is not good. And maybe it's better if he stays on the Cook County Board to fight for us there instead becoming the State's Attorney.

Yeah, bunny, good catch. Trust was clearly the wrong word.

@matilda Good one using the word "trust" and a politician in the same sentence! I've heard the O'Brien as democratic plant on the Green side thing as well. Seems like there's no way to know for sure about these things until it's too late.

Cozy: I voted Green, too, even though I suspect O'Brien is just a standard Chicago plant designed to draw protest votes and dilute any opposition to Peraica, in order to benefit Alvarez. Peraica I can trust in some jobs, but not state's attorney.

I voted Green Party for this office because of him. Peraica makes my skin crawl and Alvarez I don't really like, so here's to hoping O'Brien gets in!

If campaigning with a loud speaker on top of a van is good enough for Mayor Goldie Wilson and Mayor Red Thomas, then it is good enough for me. "Re-elect Mayor Goldie Wilson. Progress is his middle name!" "Mayor Red Thomas's progress platform means more jobs, better education, bigger civic improvements, and lower taxes."

I don't care how little money he raises or how idiotic his campaign is run. The fact that he stands up to the Toddler means he gets my vote. I hate that our political choice at the local and state level is between Republicans or Corruption. I'm voting all Green party (or Republican in this case) for state and local elections.

Man, the ONE Illinois/Cook County/Chicago republican that might be worth voting for... I really wish someone a little more bad ass could stand up to Stroger...

God Bless Tony Peraica! The only guy with the balls to stand up to our corrupt county machine!

The real shame is they left of the "Don't" at the top of the recording.
