The Fix is In: State GOP Leader Backs Andy McKenna for Guv
Publius Forum ^ | 11/14/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Until this Summer Andy McKenna was the Chairman of the Illinois GOP. He presided over a party that saw every single state wide office lost to it. He presided over a party that tried as hard as it could to make sure that Illinois' Republican voters would be barred from voting their own leaders into place (even though Democrat voters do elect their leaders). McKenna presided over a GOP that seemed little more than a junior partner to the corruption plagued Democrats.

…and now McKena's running for governor.

And guess what? House Republican leader Tom Cross is backing McKenna.

Yep, looks like the fix is in for McKenna as far as the state party is concerned and because of that you can bet that we will see Governor Pat Quinn win his own full term by November. Either that or we will see Quinn's Democrat challenger, Dan Hynes, become the next governor. Which ever Democrat we are talking about here, the point is if McKenna is the face of the GOP for the 2010 election, a Democrat will win.

If there is any way to interest a conservative to run against him in the primary I will donate to the campaign. I have decided to put aside a little money to help conservatives across the country defeat any and all RINO candidates.

Another RINO hack.

It’s why the GOP is known as the stupid party, and why they have a long way to go before they become a winning party again.

Andy didn’t have the sense to answer forcefully in the affirmative when Don Wade asked him if he would approve the execution of a creep named Dugan who raped and murdered a little girl way back. He lost my vote right then and there.

It doesn't matter, the GOP will recruit a moderate to run against a conservative. Never underestimate the GOP ability to suck.
