Kirk is tied, Quinn up by 13. Guess that goes to show that you have to be a pro-abortion liberal to get elected in Illinois. (/sarc)
Indeed. And look at the track record here in Illinois: Lynn Martin, Rich Williamson, Judy Baar Topinka, Steve Sauerberg... those "moderates" are just sooooo much more electable in "blue states" than the scary conservatives.
We're dooooomed if we nominate unapologetic conservatives like Peter Fitzgerald and Bill Brady!!!!!! The ONLY way to win is to nominate a centrist pro-abortion moderate woman from the suburbs for statewide office. Why, one of them will be elected Senator or Governor any day now. After 30 years of claiming this, it's bound to happen to eventually, right?
But hey, Alan Keyes lost and he's conservative. At least there's indisputable proof conservatives can't win in Illinois. The fact he was an 11th hour replacement candidate from Maryland running against the media's designated messiah had nothing to do with his loss, obviously.
You said, “Quinn up by 13.” The poll states that Brady is ahead by 13%.
