I am very excited to report in my own Chicago precinct a higher turnout than in 04' and after talking to precinct captains of both parties, it is favorable to our party. I am certain by the end of this night we will have our first republican cook county board President, the Stroger name has energized our base to rebel and repel! As we most likely will very well see Topinka unseating Blago and for this I praise God!

So I have done my civic duty, being a rare republican voter in this city for 35 years. I began to visit other precinct's and lemme tell you, it is happening everywhere on the NW side of Chicago. I can only pray it is enough to unseat Rahm!

Speaking of from today's Sun-Times:
Emanuel on "Meet the Press." Gets into it with Dole

Some of the comments varied on 'why' we turned out in massive numbers here today.
But the general consensus is...."We are fed up" with patronage, our troops being slammed, Kerry and to me the most telling is being told we were going to sit this one out and be outcasts for our party!

We had a referendum in my district of getting our troops out of Iraq. Of course I voted a resounding NO! This issue will be interesting to see the end result in a Democratic city.

Also, O'Bama is slowly turning into the 'fried' in the hot seat from the 'darling' he was a short time ago.
Obama: His real estate deal with the shady Rezko. '08 hopeful in Iowa again.
Monday will be a special homecoming for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
His image makers, used to playing offense--as in how many positive stories a day can they generate--will be playing defense since Obama got caught in a real estate deal with the shady Tony Rezko.

So in prayers and closing for all the candidates across the country today, may we whoop butt again!
