The Luck O' the Irish

The Illinois Primary, this year, will be held on St Patrick's Day. Coincidence? Your LakeCountyEye does not think so.

Not all that long ago in Chicago, there was one candidate with a Polish name who had no luck trying to get elected. So he changed his name to Shannon O'Malley.

HaHa, true story.

No, really, true story. That same Polish guy is now Judge Shannon P. O'Malley:

He ran for judge, lost, changed parties, took Irish name, won Cook County race

Note to Ops: Jan 16 is your deadline to file as a write-in candidate. And when you file, be sure to file as Shannon O'Malley. You won't regret it!
