I’ve been walking precincts and helping get candidates elected since I was knee high to a ballot box. I was doing door to door pollster work before I was even in high school. I guess politics has always been in my blood. 1996. John Shimkus was running for Congress. I met him and was impressed by him. Good conservative. Anytime someone would point out what | Read More »
Mark Kirk was recently secretly recorded talking about watching out for possible voter fraud in Chicago and Rockford on November 2nd. Like it or not, it is a valid argument considering Illinois’ interesting voting past. The terms “vote early and vote often” and “the dead vote” didn’t come into everyday parlance from out of the blue. Just off hand, will the secret recorder be prosecuted | Read More »
The Senate race in Illinois has been thoroughly brutal with both Mark Kirk and Alexi Giannoulias hitting each other as often as possible about each others’ record. However, I feel the tide might be turning towards Kirk with less than a month to go to November 2nd. Kirk has a money lead with $3.9 million cash on hand versus $1 million cash on hand for | Read More »
According to Rasmussen, the Illinois Senate race is a toss-up. That’s along with Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. Don’t forget, the same report also shows Indiana, Arkansas, Delaware, and North Dakota as potential pickups away from Democrats. But since I live in Illinois, my main concern is Illinois and we can help the various races around the state. First, | Read More »
The RNC Resolution Concerning Party Support of Candidates: WHEREAS, the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee have recently supported primary or special election candidates who professed allegiance to the Republican Party but who, as their circumstances changed and to serve their own interests, turned against the Republican Party and became or supported a candidate of another party; | Read More »
My hangover from celebrating Scott Brown’s victory hasn’t even worn off yet, and here we have another headache to deal with. The Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady has, in essence, called every Tea Partier/9-12er/conservative in Illinois a “fringe element”. He does actually call us out by name, but the inference is there. As I have stated before in prior posts, I have traveled across | Read More »
With less than a month left before the Illinois Primary on February 2nd, Patrick Hughes has released this TV ad: While most of the politicos and pundits are focused on other races across the United States, Illinois has one of the first opportunities to place a conservative Republican on the ballot for the General Election. With this ad, Hughes shows what is truly on the | Read More »
We have known for quite awhile now that Rep. Mark Kirk, aka “He Who Shall Not Be Nominated” to conservatives in Illinois, has been the darling child of the left and the Republican establishment. Sen. John McCain came out very early and endorsed Mark Kirk. As did Rep. John Shimkus (Republican – 19th US Congressional District Illinois) and others. They endorsed before anyone else had | Read More »
We have learned a few lessons from the NY-23 Congressional race about which candidate to support and why. The establishment candidate turned out to be a female Benedict Arnold. There are several Congressional races out across our fine land that have the potential to turn into another NY-23, but for the sake of time and expediency, I’d like to highlight just one – the US | Read More »
