I’m in the 4th (Chuy!)
I had the pleasure of voting for a dead man, because our Congressional candidate died in January. It was fun.
I think they stuck poor Billyboy in Bobby Rush’s seat.
Though I would rather have Rush than Chuy. At least Rush beat Obama that one time.
Which Republican should run against Chuy? I hope someone, who has run for office, will run.
Aside from the 3rd district where its Lipinksi vs. leftist loon Marie Newman on the RAT side and Will Frillone vs. neo-nazi holocaust denier loon Art Jones on the GOP, the wide open GOP race in the 14th district and the Jeanie Ives vs. Jay Kinzler primary in the 6th district, the remaining Illinois districts seem to be pretty sadly uneventful primary contests.
District 1 (my district, black panther Bobby Rush). DIABLO (Democrat In All But Label Only) Jimmie Lee Tillman Jr. was making noises about seeking the GOP nomination again, but didn’t file, so sacrificial lamb and actual Republican Phil White is unopposed in the primary.
District 2: (Jesse Jackson Jr.’s old district) - Theresa Raborn unopposed in GOP primary
District 4: (”Chuy”) No Republican running. “Independent” Ruben Sosa running as a write-in.
District 5: Sacrifical lamb Kimball Ladien unopposed in GOP primary
District 7: Craig Cameron unopposed for GOP nomination
District 8: (Joe Walsh’s old district, redrawn to be safe RAT, somehow people say its Joe’s fault for losing anyway) Joseph Hantsch running as write-in for GOP nomination
District 9 (Comrade Schacowky): Sargis Sangari unopposed for GOP nom.
District 10 (Markkirkland, former home of RINO, Inc.): Val Mukherjee unoppposed for GOP nomination
District 11: Krishna Bansal vs. Rick Laib in GOP primary, I have no idea which of them is better.
DOWNSTATE: Combiners and/or RINOs Mike Bost, Rodney Davis, Adam Kinzinger, and LaThug Jr. ALL unopposed in their primaries. LaThug Jr. is now the “most conservative” Republican Congressman from Illinois. His fan club gloats about that like its a good thing, its more akin to saying Police Academy 3 is “the best” direct to video Police Academy sequel. “Well, they all suck monkey balls, but Police Academy 3: Back In Training, SLIGHTLY less so!”
District 15: Open race for John Shimkus’ safe GOP seat because he is retiring, I have not researched the candidates.
District 17: Primary between Esther Joy King vs. Bill Fawell, I heard Fawell is a loon.
