    Is this Alter's audition for Mike's job? Mike's missed by readers all over the US, not just in Illinois. With a little practice I'll be Alter can fill Mike's shoes.

    I would have loved to get Royko's take on this Rod mess! I still miss turning the first page of the tribune to get the latest on Chicago politicos..... What would he have thought of this election!

    I find commenters who can only call people names and engage in gutter politics to be both unimaginative and boring. Have your Mommy show you the caps lock key,OK?

    Thanks.
