You are right she damn well could win with the vote so split. I might even bet on it. Low turnout helps her too.

That would make me laugh, hard.

And while I don’t know how pro-gun she REALLY is (NRA A means jack, they give Reid an A also while GOA gives him an F-) I don’t believe she’s a total marxist on the issue.

A Black Republican named Lenny McAllister is running according to politics1.com. I doubt we can win that seat under any circumstances but him versus a White rat would be intriguing.

But Republicans can vote in the rat primary yes? I don’t really agree with doing that but it’s something for residents to consider since this is just a special election and nothing else is on the ballot. The Jerksons would be sooooo pissed if Halvorson won.

Since 17 Democrats are running, one of them could win the primary with 8% of the vote. I think that Halverson will win with 10%-15%.

I hope that Eric Wallace will win the GOP primary. In the fall of 2009, I worked for his U.S. Senate campaign. He got about 7000 petition signatures. He’s a vice-chairman of the Cook Co. Republican Party. He’s pro-life and pro-gun rights.

“And while I don’t know how pro-gun she REALLY is....”


I have no doubt that whatever pro-gun votes Halvorson felt she had to cast when she represented an exburban/rural CD that was half Republican will be forgotten completely by her if she represents a black-majority urban/suburban Chicago district.

Republicans in the CD should vote in the GOP primary and make sure that the best possible candidate (with the “least impossible” chance of winning) gets nominated. But if I were to vote in the RAT primary, I’d probably choose that newly elected state senator who played football at Northwestern and who appears to be pro-marriage.
