This is true
I had the "pleasure" of meeting Kilroy. What a chump. This guy is the absolute picture of Chicago hackery. Rude, arrogant and an altogether unpleasant person. I think too often people in Chicago politics confuse being a jerk for being tough. As the above poster alluded to he was just never very good at his work to begin with. I don't normally believe in ad hominem attacks but this guy deserves it... what a fat buffoon. Oh well...Good luck Mr. Nelson.
Tim Nelson campaign
I feel sorry for Tim Nelson's campaign. I did my homework on the guy and he is an incompetent campaign manager by all accounts. All the races he has been involved with have lost and word is he was fired from his last one. He doesn't know crap! Good luck to you Tim.
