It’s just coming to your attention now because he’s a bad candidate who has no chance to win. I’ll stand with the active Naval reservist (Kirk), thanks. RINO or no. A republican will never win in Illinois if we keep sending up unelectable “conservatives” like Hughes, Jim Oberweiss, and even ones that don’t even live here like Alan Keyes.
“More than half of GOP voters said they agreed with the tea party movement, including nearly 70 percent of those who describe themselves as very conservative. But that hasn’t translated into support for Hughes. The survey found Kirk being supported by 48 percent of Republicans who said they backed the tea party movement while Hughes got only 10 percent support.”
It sounds like this situation is somewhat similar to MA and Ross. A RINO is still better than a dim. Eventually the American people will catch on and then the real conservatives will be elected.

Time to put our money where our mouth is...
Wasn’t Illinois’ biggest, recent, “electable” GOP guy Jack Ryan, a “moderate Republican” who lost to 0bama?
I will not stand with Kirk in the primary.
Jim had his own issues, unfortunately, and as for Alan, wasn’t he called in late to help cover for the RINO Jack Ryan, with only something like 80 days to run from scratch, yet got over a third of the vote?
Get your facts straight. RINOs are the problem in Illinois.
It sounds like you won’t even give the conservatives a try.
