Just for those who may not follow IL politics - thanks mainly to gerrymandering, four Republican congressmen were defeated by traditional democrats: Biggert, Schilling, Walsh, and Dold, most of which were first-time Tea Party winners from 2010.
Re-districting was a major factor to be sure, but the Tea Party needs to get re-energized and develop a long-term plan for change. Joe Walsh is already talking about running for Governor, and it’s worth remembering that we had two very good Republican governors before Blago and the present idiot, Pat Quinn.
Madiganistan was carved up just right by the Rats to undo the 2010 shellacking they got. Dold, however, backstabbed the Tea Party. I believe that is why he was defeated. When the Rats showed ads connecting him to the Tea Party, he countered with ads denying the Tea Party. The ads included his RINO leftist gun grabbing, pro-abortion, amnesty, works well with leftist Rat buddies. RINO Dold got what he deserved.
“Joe Walsh is already talking about running for Governor, and it’s worth remembering that we had two very good Republican governors before Blago and the present idiot, Pat Quinn.”
IL governors such as convicted Republican Jim Ryan?
Dream on.
Bill Daley already has the IL governorship sewed up.
