JACK Ryan was married to Jeri Ryan. Jim Ryan went to Benedictine University in Lisle. He's popular because of his attacks on the tobacco companies, but I personally hate him. I can't think of anything he did that was really good for anybody. Smokers now pay more because of him in Illinois (AND Barack). I also think that some of his popularity comes from his personal life. He married a high-school sweethart and lost two children, people sympathize with him.

I don't agree with his politics, but he means well, so I can't condemn him. I honestly have no idea who to vote for in the next election, though.
