These are the kind of REPUBLICANS we have running and the Leadership of the IRP is SILENT!
Skip Saviano running for Republican State Central Committee in March 2010.
Saviano has been a lousy excuse for a GOP party official (SCC member), and public official (State Rep.) for as long as anyone can remember.

http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=1759 General lowlights on Saviano.
http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=722 - summary of Skip’s worst votes as a State Rep.
http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=823 - summary of Skip’s ties to Democrat money.
http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=133 - Has photo of Saviano campaigning in partnership with liberal Democrat State Senator Don Harmon. They are close friends and even share a legislative office in the district. A friend of mine ran against Don Harmon in 2006 and witnessed many times where Saviano would not only help the Republican - he actively campaigned for Democrat Harmon. My friend’s campaign took this photo at a parade. It’s beyond outrageous that any Republican - especially a member of the SCC - would campaign for a liberal Dem. And worse when it’s at the expense of a good Republican challenger. SAVIANO SHOULD BE REJECTED JUST ON THE BASIS OF THIS PROOF ALONE (of course what should happen and what some people are willing to do, are two very different things in this party).
http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=225 Back in early 2007, the SCC - which of course included Saviano - tried to tell some good Republicans they couldn’t use the word “Republican.”

http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=881 Saviano is one of the names.
http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=1079 Saviano was one of the GOP state reps to vote for more gambling - shortly after a new state party platform was adopted condemning further expansion.
http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=1743 - Saviano was a part of this ridiculous plan last year to sue Republicans over SB600.
If the Pubs blow this race by trying to get odd, funny with the voters by either running a 3rd Party person or even forcing a guy who could actually win the race, I will be livid. RINOS are a horror but Kirk is not a RINO. He is a Centrist who can actually win in Ill. Of course, there should be a primary but if they foul up this win, then they ought to be ashamed. If Hughes could win, and polls must show it, then fine. But, my bet is that Blue Ill. will elect Kirk but not him. If Kirk also agrees to a Contract agenda, then boy howdy , he will win. Why not at least offer one to him?
