The State Journal-Register and 970 WMAY-AM will sponsor a debate on Monday between the three Republican candidates for the 18th U.S. House District seat vacated by former Rep. Aaron Schock.
Mike Flynn, a conservative writer from Quincy, Darin LaHood, a state senator from Peoria, and Donald Rients, a former corrections officer from Benson, will debate beginning at 7 p.m. ET at The State Journal-Register building in Springfield, IL.
The panelists for Monday’s debate will be SJ-R political writer Bernard Schoenburg, WMAY news director Jim Leach and Peoria Journal-Star political writer Chris Kaergard.
A primary election for the 18th District race is July 7. The general election is Sept. 10.
Last week, Breitbart News reported that establishment favorite LaHood was endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, to which Flynn responded: “If you love big bank bailouts, loved the Obama stimulus, love corporate welfare for big defense contractors, and loved Obama’s executive amnesty, then evidently, you should vote for Darin LaHood. If you’re for limited government, lower taxes, free market competition, and securing the border first, then it’s clear: You should vote for me.”
Mike Flynn is the founding editor of Breitbart’s Big Government.

“Aaron Schock Open Seat Heats Up”
That’s kind of mean. Let the guy fade into the sunset.
No it is NOT Tomorrow! It is July 7th! Darin Lahood Ran to Washington DC and collected 200,000 dollars from Special Interest Groups! He Is Bought and Paid For!!
Ping
Primary is NEXT week. July 7th.
I’ll be pleasantly shocked if LaThug Jr. doesn’t win easily.
Yes, sorry about the date. My mind is a week ahead.
LaHood because crony capitalism is the national standard.
Fortunately, though, not a weak head. ;-]
Lots of stuff coming out about LaThug Jr. this week. Turns out his campaign is being funded by a Clintonite PAC that’s run by John Podesta:
Add all the previous revelations about how LaThug Jr. is being backed by Mark Kirk and the Republican Main Street Partnership (a group that despises conservatives and wants to make the GOP into Democrat lite), there’s no excuse for any knowledgeable conservative to back this scumbag in the primary. LaThug is counting on low-information morons to vote for him because of name ID.
LaThug Jr. wouldn’t even commit to voting to repeal Obamacare or term limit himself. Apparently his response to every question is to give some vague comment about how he’s a “Christian” and believes in “conservative values”.
The good news is that least conservatives aren’t taking this laying down. There are a number of good people out there speaking out against LaThug. His candidacy is nicely summed up in the “Father’s Day” video they posted on youtube, and this blog:

Seems to me that the self-proclaimed “principled grassroot conservatives” in bed with LaThug and pimping his candidacy (David Smith, Dan Proft, etc.) are just as bad as the pro-gay marriage “conservatives”.
GO MIKE FLYNN!
