Ha ha ha. Your post is very funny. LOL.
Was falling asleep but made some coffee with a little rum in it so not exacttly wideawake but feel better.
I would think that Illinois would be a much harder state to get a conservative in office than even Mass. Scott Brown was outspoken, made things clear to the people, 30 years in National Guard, mod-conservative appealed to them. His good clean looks didn't hurt him, he seems healthy & intelligent and sinsere. His apponent's atrocious record brought her down. I 'd guess the catalyst came when he said, "It's not Kennedy's seat--it's the People's." He won.
I don't know much about Mark Kirk except a flaming lib...so I guess if he is elected, then the people will work all the harder for other conservative candidates . And state by state they will win, lose some, win in another state. Until we outnumber the libs. It seems to be working.
So what is so dang funny?
