He picked up strong financial support from business friends, set out to cover the state in a bus dubbed the "Chuckwagon" that he filled with his wife, five kids and an eight-piece band. He plugged economic development as Illinois' most pressing need, argued that he, as a businessman, could best find ways to create 800,000 new jobs needed in the state...
