can’t wait to see how the dead come to life in Kook County.

Great. I just hope we do not get defecting RINOS reaching across the aisle. All the Republicans have to do is hang tight vote no and the Crats will destroy themselves.

[VicVega]

With Kirk, Obama still wins.

[kalee]

Don;t you mean CrOOK County?

Chicago | 32,001 | 326,961 | 358,962 | 9
and the winner is:
Chicago | 32,001 | 3,269,610 | 3,589,620 | .9

I would guess that should set the count to where they should be. You do the extension for the state.

[jdsteel]

And I just can’t wait for my PA senator Snarlin’ Arlin and the perennial democrat Murphy to get shown the door.

And they will....

“All the Republicans have to do is hang tight vote no and the Crats will destroy themselves.”

God, I hope they are not too dumb to see this.

[screaminsunshine]

Trust me they are. They are insulated in the hive they call Washington and surrounded by adoring media types. They have absolutly no idea what is happening out here in the real world.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I think a few of them do , but they get “sucked in” by what you described. Most of them never did care about us in the first place.

Picking up Obama’s Senate seat would be a big coup, although Mark Kirk's record is admittedly uninspiring.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Ask for volunteers to investigate, expose, and prosecute the voter fraud.

As you know, Mark Kirk was one of 8 House Republicans to vote for Cap-and-Trade. When he came home for some Townhall meetings, he caught hell! But he had the courage to meet with his constituents not unlike Dirtbag Durbin who hid under his desk back in D.C. I was at one of those meetings and it was packed and heated. He got the message. I like to think we won’t have any further problems with Kirk.

As for the Democrats, they have some serious problems with their candidates. Besides the corruption with Alexi, it has now been discovered the Lt. Governor candidate has a history with anger management (like pulling knives on women). I tell you, there’s a tsunami headed for Illinois Democrats.

[GailA]

Sounds like Memphis, the dead and jailed inmates most of them convicted felons vote every election.

I'm the Honoree Chairman of the “National Get Out The Dead Vote”. We are easy, non partisan, but not cheap. If you want our vote, it will cost you plenty.

[Dr. Sivana]

Mark Kirk with his suburban base, somewhat moderate voting record and military and foreign policy expertise, seems like an ideal candidate for Republicans, whose last successful Republican Senate candidate in Illinois, Charles Percy, had a similar profile.

Umm, Dr. Barone... did yo forget Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, who was MUCH more recent than Percy, and also considerably more conservative than Percy OR Kirk.

Somewhat moderate.

Whatta joke!

I do not vote for liberals even when they have an "R" after their names.

[stephenjohnbanker]

The dead and the “might as well be dead” have feelings tooooooooooo! : )
