I was leaning towards Kinzinger cause I thought he was young man going places compared to Manzullo, a solid conservative but backbencher type.

But these developments turn me in the other direction. No reason to have less than a solid conservative in one of our allotted safe seats.

I'd like to get some more specifics, including overall voting ratings from a couple of groups, before declaring Kinzinger a RINO—the mere fact that a Tea Party group is miffed at him is not sufficient. I know Manzullo is a solid, if unexciting, conservative, but from the 2010 campaign thought that Kinzinger was a conservative as well.
