Pat Brady, the Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party, says the anti-Mark Kirk element within the GOP is ‘fringe.’
That’s actually not quite true and is precisely why so many conservatives in Illinois don’t like Brady or Kirk — they feel repeated disrespected and treated as fringe.
In fact, considering how active the Illinois Tea Party movement is in opposing Kirk, Brady is, in effect, calling all of those activists fringe. He might want to be careful.
Conservatives across the country are seriously considering a last minute air-drop of support into Illinois for Pat Hughes. The thinking goes that the last minute effort to help Scott Brown put him over the finish line and the same could be done in these last eleven days before the Illinois GOP primary.
If conservatives come out early next week in an organized fashion, throw a pile of targeted money into Illinois, and rapidly drive up Pat Hughes’ name identification, the polling in Illinois suggests Hughes will win.
He is not polling well against Kirk right now, but then he has significantly lower name identification. All the polling suggests Kirk’s support is very week and once people find out about Hughes, they break overwhelmingly for Hughes.
It’ll be interesting to see if it is game on for Hughes in Illinois. We’ll see what conservatives do come Monday or Tuesday of this week.

Just went to his website and donated.
everyone needs to remember that before obamao slinked into it, this illinois senate seat was held by a conservative. for America's sake, we all need to support patrick hughes in whatever way we can. if you live in illinois spread the word and vote for him on feb. 2. if you live outside illinois, go to hughes' website and donate to his campaign and encourage others to do the same.
may God bless patrick hughes with success and may God bless America.
Kirk is the McCain backed RINO insider.
Elect Patrick Hughes and Beam Kirk Out.
Spread this around in email, get to everyone you know in Illinois. Kirk has the RNC backing just like Mc Cain did, we DO NOT WANT an RNC picked candidate again!!!

The wife and I are voting for Hughes on the 2nd.
I know Kirk. If there is someone better I would take him. But the radio has some one who is calling Kirk gay and a child molester. I won't vote for that guy. But my vote is truly undecided.
