Why no such words of support for Pulido from McKenna and the Illinois GOP?

There will be more about this next week. Much more.

They said the same thing about my congressman and he lost by a whopping 2%.

The Connecticut GOP pulled the same stunt with Alan Schlesinger when he ran against Lieberman. Not only did the Republicans not support Schlesinger but many Republicans voted for Lieberman! It's just one in a long line of examples how the Republican party has merged its ideology with the socialist Democrats. They are one big socialist Republicrat party.

A virtually non-existant GOP here.

Ronald Reagan: I didn’t leave the democratic party. The democratic party left me.

Robroy, 2007: I didn’t leave the republican party. The republican party left me.

What others call a Rino, I call a “republican”. What I call a Rino, others call a “conservative”.

The Republican party has been a joke for a long time.

The problem with the district is that the one republican that lives there would have to run for the office.

We have some choice battles coming up in other states..CO and AR to name two.

Pulido is against illegal immigration, and the ILGOP, much like the rest of the country club GOP “leadership”, is for it.

With a Democrat and a Greenie competing, the Repub might have a chance.

The district (while heavily Dem) isn’t as Dem as Cao’s district in New Orleans.

Especially in an off year, low turn out race.

Is there anything we can do to try to organise and support Pulido, regardless of the country club GOPers’ cut and run?

Not necessarily.

If the ILGOP backed Rosanna financially, I think she’d have a shot.

No more moderates!

Funds should bypass ILGOP and go straight to Rosanna.
