Thanks for the ping! Not only did Fitz beat Mosely Braun, he did it with little help from the Didrickson RINO's, that SHOULD have been helping him to get elected. At least the conservative wing of the GOP party has enough sense to get behind Durkin. I put my money on Cox as did many on the right. Having said that, we all have a common enemy now, in one Richard Noggin' Durbin. Know thine enemy...Neal's article is interesting and it does give advance warning to Durbin's camp if they are listening.

Speaking of Didrickson and the area GOP efforts, I saw NO Fitzgerald signs around here (northern Crook County - Northbrook, Northfield, Glenview, Glencoe, Winnetka) and chalked it up to the lazy GOP organizations at the grass roots around here. It's like every person for him/herself, I guess. I figured it was wasting my time to try to light a fire under these people, so I visited the Fitzgerald campaign office in Palatine myself and threw my hat in the ring. Told 'em they could have 48 hours of my life :-) (this is all I could realistically give as a wife and full-time mom employed out of the home). I put signs up near every precinct on the list in the surrounding suburbs and I got pollwatcher credentials out of the Fitzgerald campaign and shut down several instances of Democrap electioneering on Election Day. I'd like to think my efforts played a small part in Fitzgerald succeeding in the polling places around here.
