Big money republicans are trying to take over the 49th ward. David Herro who is for big business and against the living-wage gave Don Gordon $60,000 in an attempt to steal the election. Don Gordon gladly accepted this money because he supports a Republican agenda in the 49th Ward. Read this Tribune article for more information.
Alderman alleges Swift Boat tie in local race

In new attack ads airing on Chicago TV stations, Ald. Joe Moore (49th) criticizes the major donor to challenger Don Gordon for his ties to Republicans.
Gordon's campaign has received $60,000 from Gold Coast mutual fund manager David Herro, who, according to federal records, gave $5,000 in 2004 to Swift Boat Vets and POWs for Truth. That group funded attack ads against Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, a Vietnam War veteran.
Moore's commercials refer to Herro as "the same Republican millionaire behind the sleazy Swift boat veterans' ads from George Bush." The 30-second spot is airing on Channels 2, 5, 7, 9 and 32, Moore said.

If JoMo spent the 100,000's on additional ward staff and got things done, he wouldn't need to be spending it all on expensive TV add's now.
Just goes to show he's just not been proactive lately in our community.
David Herro is not on the ballot in the 49th ward. Who the fuck cares who David Herro gives money to.
It would be very interesting to see who some of JoMo's supporters also give money to, but that doesn't matter either. It's all bullshit.
You can't turn on the radio without hearing Alderman's Ads. this is going to be an interesting election.
David Herro gave money to Senator Obama, a supporter of Joe Moore. I wonder how Joe Moore feels about accepting support from a Senator who, while claiming to be a Democrat, obviously has latent Republican sympathies which will become fully expressed should he succeed in his presidential campaign.
Lets play 8 degrees of separation from David Herro ! I bet I have some of his money too. God bless the man. Wonder if Tom Westgard would disclose who he has given money to.
Moore can't run on his own merits. That's why he needs an expensive ad attacking a Daley-, Obama-, and Gordon-campaign contributor.
Money Trails PROVES Joe Moore is a REPUBLICAN!
Candidate for alderman Joe Moore's biggest sugar mama is Jana Kohl of 234 W. Concord Lane in Chicago. That's NOT IN THE 49TH WARD! It's in the 43rd Ward of (currently) Vi Daley!

according to Moore's OWN filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections.
Kohl ALSO gave $5000 to a political action committee that gave money to:

* Former Republican Senator George "Macacawitz" Allen of the confederate state of Virginia
...to name JUST A FEW!

Considering the quality and quantity of personal attacks made against Don Gordon by Moore supporters on a daily, hourly basis, I fail to see how Joe has any ground to stand on to blame anyone for funding negative campaign ads.
