	Jim Edgar, Illinois' 38th governor:
		Edgar says that he feels fortunate to have won, believing that 14 years of a Republican governor and 10 of a Republican president hurt the party's candidates, as did October's budget snafus in the nation's capital.
		Jim Edgar, however, doesn't drink; and during this fall's campaign he took part in his college alma mater's homecoming parade clad in a suit and a tie.
		Edgar's political judgment that a candidate's character is as important to voters as issues will provide a significant measure of his first year.

		Surely Edgar will agree that a public official’s dishonesty about the affairs of government is a lot more serious than Jack Ryan not sharing with us every detail about the way he TRIED to have sex with his own wife, in his own private time.
		Edgar is an honorable man and we know that he would never play the double standard game.
		Edgar would never want history to record that he helped crucify a good man in 2004 for dishonest reasons, over what that man did in his private life.

	Illinois - What we need from Jim Edgar - Come back with a progressive reform agenda — or don’t bother. - ...
		Edgar is the one potential gubernatorial candidate who has accumulated enough political capital to achieve real reform if he were to choose to use his considerable reputation to improve education and health care.
		But it could be that Edgar is bothered by the fact that although everyone remembers that he was a pretty good governor —; especially compared with those who followed him into that office — nobody can remember anything he did.
		If Jim Edgar were to enter the campaign as a progressive reform candidate, he could not only hold on to the thinking Republicans but earn the support of many Democrats as well.

	Extreme Wisdom: More views on Jim Edgar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I'm not questioning Bruno's (Illinois) patriotism here, but Edgar was the most credible candidate, the best and brightest hope for winning this race and taking back some modicum of dignity for the state government.
		In my view Edgar was a slightly better manager fiscally, and less rapacious than the Ryan people that destroyed the Republican party, but you don't get to the Governor's Mansion through the Secretary of State's Office with out a good deal of the culture of corruption rubbing off on you.
		Her only chance is that all the angry democrats switch and vote for the candidate farther to the left.

		There's been a lot of guessing about when and what Jim Edgar will say when he announces his intentions to run, or not, in the 2006 Illinois GOP gubernatorial primaries.
		It might be that Edgar is trying to limit the field by not announcing his intention - and helping his personal favorite(s) get a leg up on their competition (knowing that he won't run).
		It's certainly true that the Republican Party of Alan Keyes is not the party of Edgar - but Edgar is enough of a go-along to get-along kind of guy to have Chaired Bush's Illinois Re-election campaign.
