Yeah me too. But I’m still going to vote for him, because he’s better than the alternative, and a GOP win might start to break the Democrat stranglehold on this state. I guess we could do worse...

It’s coming down to Hughes for me at this point, but Andrzejewski looks good from his website. But he’s a real dark horse from what I can tell. At this point I’d take either over Kirk.
I'll support whoever survives the primary. If THIS slog gets the seat you won't pry him out with a crowbar. Stay home and that will happen. Democrats have a sense of entitlement to public office in this state. I will not enable it by pouting and sitting out any election. When a voter is convinced that "you can't fight city hall", even though he lives in mid-state, (or in your case, four states away) the bolsheviks gain a permanent lock on the process by partially organizing only a couple, maybe three metro areas. That's gotta stop in Illinois, Kirk or not.
Indeed, just as I predicted, the major Obama cheerleading Chicago media outlets: the Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times and Daily Herald ALL endorsed Kirk this week to be the designated successor of their beloved “rock star” Obama. Out with Roland Burris (he’s embarrassing liberals!), in with Marky (he’ll make socialism sound GOOD)!
The last major Chicago paper still hasn't published an editorial on the Senate race though. Where’s the Obama-loving Southtown Star? Their circulation is mainly southern Cook County so they're the big regional paper. Seems they’re running a bit late with their scheduled glowing endorsement of “fiscal conservative and military expert” Mark Kirk. Did the editorial written for them by Kirk staffers get lost in the mail? Let’s get cracking, people!
9 out of 10 Obama-touting Chicago media sources agree: If you liked Obama, you’ll LOVE Mark Kirk!
The Chicago Tribune calls Mark Kirk “conservative”. They also claimed George Ryan was “conservative” during his reign in office. I have to shake my head and wonder what planet the Tribune editorial writers live on. They’re even nuttier than than the british list of American “conservatives”.
Kirk’s ads talk of a “different kind of GOP leadership”.
Yes, his leader is different. Mark Kirk is from the Democrat wing of the Republican Party. The Senate Republicans need more unofficial Democrats since Arlen Specter became an official Democrat, and Marky is more than pleased to take over where Specter left off.
They seem to have misspelled “Liberal, Democrat and a loser: Mark Kirk.” I will endorse Alexi the crook before that execrable scumbag, because at least he’s HONEST about being a member of the Marxist party. Kirk doesn’t even reach that level. Alexi will be going to prison soon, so we’ll have another election shortly, and hopefully next time, we’ll get it right.

Check it out. Even the Chicago RATs know Alexi is a joke. Obama hasn't endorsed his former basketball buddy yet either, compared to the running ads for him early and often in 2006. I bet a number of Chicago machine RATs pull the level for Marky Mark hoping to get a marxist installed for the long-term.
Either way, a crooked Combiner will be in that seat, and it’s better that it just be an honestly-declared rodent instead of a covert one.
We have a smidge of a problem. Which candidate to back. Judge Don Lowrey is the best candidate. Millionaire Partick Hughes has a terrible presence as a candidate but the money and organization, he claims only he can overtake Kirk.
Kirk would be toast if a top tier conservative had run.
As to the Trib, they also advise combiner Andy McKenna for Governor and Judy Topinko for Comproller! They are not fit to line bird cages at this point. The bird might learn to read and then vomit uncontrollably.
The Sun Slimes also backs Kirk and the worst candidate for Governor in my option, Kirk Dillard who basically endorsed Obama for President, and Topkino. Ill freepers don't forgot about the Comptroller's race! Vote for Conservative Bill Kelly.
We don’t have a problem. The best candidate, in Illinois’ U.S. Senate race, is Don Lowery, the conservative, in that race, who has the most political experience. He’s pro-life, pro-gun, pro-tax cuts, pro-spending cuts, and anti-illegal alien. He was a judge for 26 years. He was in the army, with tours in Korea and Vietnam. Please read his site, www.JudgeLowery4USsenate.com. Hughes’ money and organization hasn’t helped his campaign, very much, so they probably won’t help him, within the next two weeks.
Yeah we do, the conservative vote is gonna be split. Hugues should quit and endorse Lowrey but that isn’t gonna happen.
Hughes is portraying himself as the true conservative.
Kirk is th front runner because the media loves him (at least until the general election) and the IL GOP is seen as a haven for crooks (George Ryan & Jim Thompson) and flakes (Alan Keyes & Jim Oberweis).
Hughes is a conservative. He says the right things.
But man does he say them in monotone robotic fashion. He needs public speaking and debate lessons.
We shouldn’t have a problem. All Illinois conservatives should vote for Lowery.
