This is as clear a choice as we will ever have. We have dropped the ball a bit on this race but today we have the opportunity to fix this. I'm donating today to this race I hope you do too.

Is this the guy who said he had Da Coaches endorsement
but it turned out he didnt?

[chuck_the_tv_out]

word to the wise - that ad is not good. it says “tearing illinois apart”. better to have the rino pulling it left & the elephant standing in the way resolutely of the rino or something like that

Just a suggestion....

donate amounts in the 912 spirit...

$9.12 or
$91.20 or
$912.00

this sends a message when tons of donations are like this..one donation would just look odd....but LOTS make in these amounts catch attention....

you can make 3 donations of $9.12 if you want to give more than 9 bucks but less than 90.....

NOT my idea— I got it from AmericanGirlRising (she is more Rovian than Karl Rove)

Doesn’t this seem like a foregone conclusion. Primary is about a week away and Kirk is up 40 some-odd points or no? Rubio surging but this guy doesn’t seem to be.

Attention all Freepers! We need to spread the word Fast about Patrick Hughes. Another full court press this last week, just like Scott Brown. Is there a telephone tree? A "money bomb" today, so please contribute! C'mon Patriots, we did it with Brown, we can do it with Hughes. He looks and sounds like a Good Conservative Candidate! February 2nd fast approaching!

From his site Here "If you agree with Patrick that it is time to "Take It Back" and are ready for the America our founding fathers envisioned, pledge your support with a donation of $17.76."

Spread the Word! Another Obama Smackdown in the Works!! Remember the Goal! No Democrat Winner, November 2, 2010!!

Bad news.

“It’s a different story on the Republican side where Mark Kirk has a 42-9 lead over Patrick Hughes. Hughes has tried to make himself the candidate of the right wing of the party and while he is more competitive with conservatives than he is with moderates, he’s still at a 38-10 deficit with them. Not much to see on this one”

Polled last weekend. Lefty pollster, but his numbers are usually honest.
