Why is State Senate candidate Jim Oberweis suddenly playing peace envoy for that real precinct committeeman piece of work, Ellen Nottke? He’s lately been leaning on KC GOP Chair Barb Wojnicki and Sugar Grove County Board Member Melisa Taylor to forgive and forget. 
Considering Nottke’s scorch and burn personality, I don’t see any forgiving and forgetting happening any time soon. Ms. Nottke certainly wouldn’t be so magnanimous. Remember, this is the woman who, after temporarily losing her PC seat, allegedly wiped the KC Republican central committee computers clean.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, word on the street is, should he win (and he certainly assumes he will) Oberweis is considering hiring Nottke to run his local office. Oh yeah! That’s who you want interfacing with your constituents. A woman with all the tact of the bubonic plague.
The question is, why is Jim doing this? What’s the point? As one source said, socially, he can be as dumb as a bag of rocks. At the rate he’s alienating people, I’m starting to think Corinne Pierog wipes the floor with him in November.
My uneducated guess would be that for some ridiculous reason Jim Oberweis thinks he may need support from the McConnaughay regime. By playing nicey nice with Ellen “icanoutnastyanyone” Nottke he gets that support. Plus if he hires her, then when McConnaughay is ready to dump her, as she so often does once an asset becomes a liability, maybe it won’t sting as much.
Jackie,
Actually, that sounds like quite the educated guess!
