LaGrange, IL— This weekend’s epic showdown between movement conservatives and more moderate elements of the Illinois Republican Party ended with a split result. Embattled Party Chairman Pat Brady remains at the helm of the State Central Committee but the committee is beginning the process of lining up a successor in the event Chairman Brady resigns or his detractors can garner enough votes to oust him while simultaneously navigating party rules to make it happen. Brady’s term runs through the 2014 primary season when a new, 18-member central committee, selected under the downsized 2011 congressional map, will organize itself and elect new officers.
It’s hard to believe, but no Illinois Republican Party Chairman has completed a full four-year term in office since at least the early 1990s. In fact, FIVE chairmen served during the term that began in 2002 and concluded in 2006. Of course, since 1997 or so, the Democrats have had only one chairman.

Vote "OTHER" and Add the name Jim Oberwies or any other name you can think of Even DONALD DUCK would be better than any of the pictured RINO'S!
Like the GOP has a snowball’s chance in the vote fraud capitol of the multiverse.
Heck, given the GOP’s performance lately, those idiots don’t have a snowball’s chance anywhere.
Let’s let ‘em die peacefully and start a real opposition party consisting of man and women with morals and convictions.
There is a Republican Party in Illinois?

Striving to kick out Angel Garcia Gay marriage and Open Borders Advocate!

I recommend we all just give up on IL.
That festering cesspool of wretched and scummy, ingested and regurgitated cock roach droppings mixed with used fem hygiene products and reptilian stomach bile needs to be left to degrade on its own in a vat of sulfuric acid.
Lest we risk getting some of it on us.
You remind me of the Dixie Chicks, Please just shut up and VOTE!
Choosing the head of the GOP in Illinois...
It’s rapidly becoming like selecting the President of the Southern Baptist Association of Afghanistan.
PING!
I voted “other” and picked Patrick Hughes, the conservative who ran against Mark Kirk in the 2010 Senate primary.
Thanks!
I’m tempted to say Phil Crane, just to irritate themn.
Was he the other guy who ran against Kirk in that primary?
Patrick "the only viable conservative" Hughes spent millions of dollars in the primary but ran a terrible, bumbling campaign against Kirk (he didn't even get 20% of the vote and I'm not sure if he won a single county), then flip-flopped after the primary and immediately endorsed and campaigned for Kirk -- AFTER telling the conservatives who recruited him that he wouldn't do so UNLESS Kirk sat down with him and assured him that he'd go to bat for conservatives on a handful of issues (Kirk never did so and acted like Hughes didn't exist)
Why would you want that guy? He's Exhibit A of "bad choices our self-proclaimed conservative leadership made" if you ask me. If there's a single primary vote I regret, it would probably be for Hughes. I only voted for him because his fan club hounded all the other conservatives running and insisted over and over again that only Hughes poised a threat to Kirk. What a joke.
