Though, I guess that’s a good sign. It’s better to be pandered to than ignored. We just have to figure out which one is telling the truth.

Adam has been my second choice for the whole election season. I’ve like what he’s said from the beginning.

I just think Brady’s got a better chance of actually changing this state. His plan to reorganize every department in the state (read fire all the Blago appointees), seems to be the right way to correct the problems. He’s also been around long enough to know how the system works and knows how to work it.

Adam on the other hand, is a complete outsider. I like his ideology, but I’m not convinced that he could actually DO anything if he did get elected.

Socialism doesn’t work. It looks nice on paper, but it’s been tried and it’s failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).

There are other solid conservative candidates who go beyond just saying the right things and who actually realize they can’t manage federal programs as a State governor. His promises to vets are so strikingly impossible that he comes off as dishonest or just that oblivious to how our federalist system works. It’s not about establishment vs outsider. It’s about having the first clue about the job he’s running for. He doesn’t seem to have it.

I want to acknowledge upfront that I cannot claim to know better than conservative within Illinois about how things should go in their state.

I know that in my own state that the national image of some Republicans is false and that if people knew what the locals did they would think differently.

But what I would like to say is that I have watched these guys on TV before and Adam came across better. I saw Brady in action both in his last run for Governor and this one - and Adam seems like he is the stronger guy and more likely to put principle before self-interest. Brady seems too self-protective for my taste.

And as for Adam being the split off candidate - Brady polling 10% at best from what I seen. So considering Adam seems to have more wind at his back he could easily already be ahead of Brady in reality.

Lack of knowledge about local issues - boy I have heard that line from the establishment so many times.

I would suggest we back whomever would be the best leader most likely to put principles above self interest.

I respectly suggest that as the standard. Again, everyone within the state has advantage on me. I am only trying to make a suggestion on how best to evaluate the situtation.

I am also glad Eric is getting involved. I am for Rubio as well. But we need to focus on all the races not just Florida. Esp. since you can get ready for Crist to get out the primary any day now.

And what about Hughes for the Senate?

Thanks.

I LOVE his “hair” commercials, but his claim to be an outsider is bull on the surface.

Proft is an unknown. He talks conservative, but I’m not sure his background qualifies him.

you should go with Adam because he has the better and a somewhat realistic shot to win. The last two polls (Rasmussen and PPP) show Proft as the only candidate that has both single digit support and outside the margin.

school choice, among other things. Andy is a good candidate, too, but not convinced he’s got enough depth for it. The only way to get one of our choices, Proft, Andy or Brady is to unite. You can always tell conservative candidates in Illinois. They will always poll at the bottom, below the sleazy machine candidates.

Having an actual choice of good candidates is good, but splitting the vote is a Beee…….

is the blogger R.S. McCain, who is not related to that other McCain hence the name of his blog.

Why are you comparing Andy to some Polish King from centuries ago? Please tell me that this isn’t why you support him, how superficial. I’m a Catholic conservative and if this guy is being supported by the likes of Stacey McCain, then no thx. Even Rubio isn’t conservative enough for me, he certainly won’t be a Sen DeMint. To me, you’re not a conservative unless you support reducing govt spending across the board. Also, auditing the Fed should be a standard talking point now for any so-called conservative.

If you are from Illinois, and reading this, please don’t split your vote.

Bill Brady would be the nominee this year if he had dropped and allowed Oberweis to win. Instead, he is perceived to have stayed in so that Topikafava won.

True or not, that is what a lot of Illinois conservatives think.

Proft is this year’s Brady. Watch the last days, look at momentum, and vote for the Conservative who can come in over the top.

That’s Adam Andrzejewski.

Lastly, ignore all the blather about “experience” and “analysis”. Anyone who has done an ounce of “analysis” isn’t going to get a tax cut or an ephemeral “statutory spending freeze” past Speaker Madigan.

In a one on one debate, Proft is the better rhetorician, but Adam is running on far more robust policies.

Unlock your position, watch, and you’ll see Adam as the best choice on election day.

Every time I get told somebody is so smart, he usually ends up being a flop.

One could easily make the case that Adam is the only candidate who could win, simply because he isn’t tarnished with past statements, recorded votes, and or pop-up scandals (This is Illinois, after all)

The audit idea is 100 % doable and everyone on the campaign knows it. That is why so many of the other candidates have borrowed planks from our platform. The policies aren’t naive, they are what people need to hear. You can’t pass something until you actually run on it, and then act on it. If Brady had tried some of that in his 16 years in the State Gov,. he’d be Governor right now.

Disclosure: I was compensated by Adam’s campaign through November.

shoud be brought out. Why can’t we ever get a dream candidate for Illinois senate?

That said, I’m voting Hughes and Proft.

Did you know Proft was adopted? Could be one of the reasons for his strong support for school choice. He is very passionate that children shouldn’t be denied an education because of their zip code.
