Anyone else notice the totally coincidental* increase in number of Oberweis ice cream ads...

...on the airwaves?

I'm sure that it has absolutely nothing* to do with his running against Dick Durbin this fall and is just part of their usual summer ad buy..


I'd love for someone to look at the actual numbers...but if memory serves he does this every time he runs for office..

Isn't he something like 0 for 6 in his pursuit of public office? There is an Oberweiss store near me. I never go there, right along with Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Walmart and BP.

(Funny - spellcheck doesn't recognize Walmart - )

exactly what happens each election cycle (which comes every 2 years, because that is how often he runs for a new office).
