How can a guy who sells ice cream be so unlikeable?
Jim Oberweis, he of the Oberweis chain of ice cream shops, lost his fourth election in six years. He has run twice for the US Senate from Illinois and lost, has run for governor of Illinois and lost and now has lost a special election to fill Dennis Hastert's unexpired term in Congress. What's next, running for dog catcher and losing that? How long does it take the average millionaire to figure out that people simply don't like you?
Oberweis is just not a political creature, no matter how strongly he may wish himself to be. His conservative views seem to sound more radical than they really are when they come of his mouth. This is a personality issue. Oberweis is the kind of person who can shake your hand, smile and laugh and still look angry. He always looks a minute or two from a melt down.
Oberweis has spent an awful lot of his own money to attain office. He really should hang on to it and stick to making dairy products. Just don't work the front counter at any of your shops, Jim. You'll frighten away the small children.
