Great..... Sounds like a good rally and that the enthusiasm was there as it should be from his supporters.....

My purpose in pinging you to this thread was for you to see that Hastert is giving support to Keyes. It was only yesterday that you were railing against Hastert and ripping other Freepers who tried to point out Hastert's support to you. That doesn't help Keyes or his efforts as Keyes will need every vote he can get from all the base GOP plus crossover votes and support from the independents. To alienate any sector of the voters is hurting your candidate, imo.

I hope you all can win this thing and cause the democrats some further grief..... Good luck and keep up your enthusiasm.

Those who claim not to vote for a carpetbagger must realize that to downstaters, everyone out of Chicago is from another planet. Keyes will get much downstate support.

Negative, if you do not live in Illinois and do not understand Illinois Politics, why do you not give me the benifit of the doubt. I still disagree that Hastert is supporting Keyes FULLY.

So the article was wrong where it said Hastert was luke warm, I was wrong, and I live in Chicago and am very active in Politics.
If you do not comprehend that the Illinois Republican party is in disarray then YES, you do not know what you are speaking of.
Hastert is out for Hastert.
