It’s probably because I met Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr.’s GOP opponent Isaac Hayes at the Family PAC cruise last month that I am following with more than casual interest the deteriorating political fortunes of the incumbent.

Thre out of the last seven days the Chicago Sun-Times has had an unflattering front page featuring Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr.

Today, the Chicago Sun-Times ran the third negative front page article on Jackson.

In addition, there was an editorial entitled,

Time for Rep. Jackson

to speak up, clear air

Will the next time Jackson’s name appears in a Sun-Times editorial be the one saying that the paper cannot endorse someone like him, even though they know he will probably win re-election?

If so, that doesn’t happen very often.
