Many have asked if Jesse White and Dan Rutherford have appeared together at a forum or a debate. Unfortunately Jesse has avoided all of them. Dan has accepted the invitations and Jesse has declined. The best the public has for a candidate comparison, from a non-partial organization, is provided by Chicago TV WTTW-11. They allowed taped interviews on "Candidate Free Time" for both Jesse and Dan, separately.
So, in a way Jesse and Dan have appeared together....at least on the same TV or computer monitor, just not at the same time. View both segments, they are only 2 minutes each, and post what you think.

It's too bad the press has given Jesse a pass on this whole debate thing. It's become pretty clear that he isn't quite in control of that office anymore. Saw Rutherford keeps rolling in endorsements downstate. I don't think Jesse's going to win every county again this time. GO DAN!
Jesse thinks he can sit back, give big pay raises to his daughter and still back-flip his way back into the SOS office. Well he really should take note of his opposition. I don't know if his opponent can do back-flips or vaults or
sommersaults but that is not what's important here. Dan is a hard working executive and Illinois State Senator. He has been working this election in a clean, decent, old fashioned manner. I know that there is no camparison in candidates. That is why I am asking my friends from Glen Ellyn all the way down to Marion to vote for the GOOD GUY. That would be no other than DAN RUTHERFORD.
Watching Jesse White's video from WTTW TV Chicago, he should be coach of the Jesse White Stumblers! Not Tumblers... When will the US Attorney wake up and sheee how White uses the tumblers for political use, The IRS code is clear a non-for-profit can not mix with political candidates. Dan Rutherford is the clear choice! I know an SOS employee who has been at SOS over 30 years, if White is re-elected Tuesday they say retirement is next! The office is a complete mess. Like a drunk driver, all over the road at a high rate of speed! who is the victim you ask, the people of the State of Illinois. With Rutherford and his backround as a diver he may be able to offer CPR and bring the office back to customer service, GO DAN ILLINOIS NEEDS YOU!!!!!
You Go Dan, YOU ARE THE BEST AND YOU WILL DO A GREAT JOB AT THE OFFICE OF SOS
Have a great day and best of LUCK on Tuesday Nov, 7th 2006.
It's been good working with you, YOU ARE THE GREATEST, Keep in touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan Rutherford is the hardest working campaigner I have had the opportunity to support.
His integrity is above reproach which is VERY hard to find in this campaign. His years in the private sector as a vice president with a fortune 500 company has given him the experience and ability to bring much needed change to the secretary of state office. His knowledge of the technology that he talks about is fantastic. Just check his website at danrutherford.org and compare it to any other website in the campaign. Dan is definitely the man for the job. and I like the lady from Glen Ellyn am encouraging everyone reading this blog to help get out the vote on November 7th.
Gwenn Ennen has said it all and much better than I could. "Dan is the Man" for the job. Barb Marting
