In the e-mail, Moore's political brain trust reported the results of a focus group convened to test public reaction to alternative public pronouncements related to the idea of Joe Moore as congressman.
Of particular interest in terms of recent breaking news are three questions regarding the use of the alderman's website for communicating with constituents on development issues in the ward:
- 31% of focus group members rated as favorable an explanation of Moore disbanding his so-called "community" zoning committee in terms of a "administrative oversight."
- When reminded of Moore's campaign promises in the area of open and transparent community process in development, the favorable number dropped to 17% (this floor is thought to represent Moore's die-hard constituency of animal rights activists and Cook County employees).
- BUT, of those who DID rate the "administrative oversight" explanation as favorable, 82% rated as favorable an explanation of Moore's deletion of ALL records related to transparency in development issues in terms of "office intern error."
The focus group was asked several other interesting questions, watch this space!

Would be interesting to see the document.
Is Moore so stupid that he thinks the suburbanites in the district are going to vote for a Chicago aldercreature?
Every document or announcement that Joe's people ever put on their site can be retrieved from a server somewhere, though with considerable effort.
Joe is foolish to believe that he leaves no tracks, but he is correct in believing that a significant percentage of his constituents are dumb enough to believe that his deletions were accidental and his intent innocent.
A considerable percentage of the American population believes that Jesus manifests himself on bagels and crackers regularly, so what won't some folks believe?
You've just gotta love email for this type of thing. Whoops!
It's apparent that Joe has had his eye on a different job for years. That was and is the major issue I have with him and his office.
This is not a dress rehearsal- this is our ward.
The Alderliar wants to run for Congress? What a joke!
Seriously, I hope the jerk does run, if only to enjoy seeing his campaign crash and burn like it did when he finished dead last for the Democratic nomination for Circuit Court Clerk back in 2000. If Moore does run for Congress, he will quickly run into the federal restrictions on how much money his slumlord pals can donate to his campaign.
Also, would he be planning to run against his pal Schakowsky? Or does he seriously believe that should Obama become President, Gov. Sleazy would appoint Jan to the Senate seat? A schakowsky-Moore primary contest would be nice though for two reasons. First, a third candidate would certainly swoop in and take the House seat. Second, in the course of the campaign, I suspect enough dirt would be uncovered to make it easy for the US Attorney to send the whole lot of them to prison.
