...The resulting effect has led to a political bloodthirsty moment (as Jill Stanek wrote about) for the ILGOP who hate the conservative wing of their party to begin with and thus the calls of absolute shock and horror over the "lies" and "the way they were decieved". Conservatives are also upset that Jack didn't just take the simple step of revealing to them what was in the allegations from the beginning - so that in the primary voters could make their mind up and decide if they felt the mere allegations were too much to overcome.
All of this brings the concerned voters of Illinois to the decision they have to face today. With the entire Illinois Congressional House delegation calling on Ryan to step down, with the Bloodthirsty Topinka/LaHood wing of the party licking their chops, and even grassroots conservatives desperately disappointed with where this leaves the entire issue - it appears that Ryan may infact step aside.

mean who would want to go to one of these places with a wife that looks like her?
I totally agree with your comments. But the situation is so sensational it will become a soap opera for Ryan's campaign. It will sprout wings and gossip will get out of control. He will be dogged with questions until election day. His ship was sabotage and sinking badly...I donated money to his campaign too. I'm sure we will have a good replacement to give Obama run for his money.
Regarding post 56:
Jim Ryan was never a Governor. George Ryan, however, was.
Regarding post 57:
The husband, Jack Ryan, has not admitted infidelity. Jeri Ryan, however, has.
I got them mixed up. Was it Jim Ryan who ran for Governor two years ago?
BUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT.
Yes. Jim used to be the Attorney General.
Yes, I know Jeri admitted it, I did not mean to imply Jack had admitted anything.... His wife admitted infidelity, he did not.
"This state sucks and the Republican Party here is more than half the problem. Be thankful you don't live here."
I live in California. You have to believe that Illinios could never be even half as bad, although we have a Republican governor who is doing a great job. Maybe I'm thankful I don't live there. But I'd sure take it over this leftist train wreck of a state.
The grass always looks less brown on the other side of the fence.
Here in Illinois, we have a doofus Democrat governor, who actually is not nearly as bad as the last Republican governor. Go figure.
