Castration in the Cook County Commissioner race?

CBS 2, in November of 2007, reported that Beavers said quoted beavers as saying that he's "the hog with the big nuts and I'm gonna tell you what it is."That line has been repeated often over the years.

Marathon Pundit also used a similar headline back in 2008, and history may be repeating itself. 

Opponent Elgie Sims has the endorsements of State Senator Donne Trotter and Ald. Lyle, as evidenced in Palm Cards near the Ruggles School election poll. Sims has several other endorsements, such as the Chicago Tribune, and has appeaeared several times on Public Access TV. US Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. & his wife Alderman Sandi Jackson have endorsed several candidates by robocall, and Elgie Sims is one of them.

As far as I can tell, Beavers hasn't received any support.  Many of the above endorsements have supported Beavers' ally Stroger, but not Beavers himself.

For Beavers, I have only seen a few signs have been seen here and there.

(note, i hope to post photos of those palm cards later tonight)

One other note about Elgie Sims: he is a Chtham / 6th Ward resident, and in addition to being a budget director for the state legislature, he has also been involved in the community, such as Chatham Avalon Park  Community Council.

We will see after 7pm if the hog has been castrated.
