I plan to vote for Koppie. He’s the only candidate, in that race, who is pro-life, pro-gun, and anti-illegal alien. Other than Durbin, Koppie is the only candidate, in his race, who has held an elected office.

Chad has my vote.

The reason why Sauerberg's supporters seems so hellbent in trying to sell him on FR lately is because they're scared of Chad Koppie, who's far more qualified and far more conservative.

Sauerberg's polling absolutely nothing and Durbin is coasting to re-election, but there's 10 times as many threads on this forum for Sauerberg than there was for Durbin's opponent from six years ago (Jim Durkin, a fairly decent conservative state rep. who ran a better campaign) Obviously the ILGOP fears being humiliated with "electable" Sauerberg and needs conservatives to have a respectable showing.

The ILGOP really stepped in it by shoving another RINO down our throats in the primary. They figured it would be a two-way race and we'd have to support him.
