Blair Hull makes me itchy. He's a candidate for the Democratic Senate nomination and he's already spent $12 million of his own money on the race.

What troubles me is how some of that money is paying for banners on the Sun-Times website that magically appear with campaign news stories.

It's a good advertising strategy because it furtively positions Blair Hull in the mind of the voter as the most "newsworthy" candidate. But the best advertising is almost always evil.

And so how did Blair Hull make his money? Well, he's a former professional Black Jack player turned Day Trader.
Quick, somebody get me a ballot!

I'm officially endorsing Barak Obama for Senate.
