I agree with Bill, about Sauerberg. Last month, I attended a meeting of the Republican Assembly of Lake County, and Sauerberg was the guest speaker. He said that he’s different than Durbin, but he didn’t give many details. After he left, about a third of the members said that they can’t happily support him because he’s not strongly pro-life.

I've meet the good doctor in person on two occassions so far. I'd turn to him for my backache problems if I was ever in LaGrange but as far as politics go, he's obviously stating opinions from a script rather than his own thoughts and has a wide selection of policies ranging from "I'm not Dick Durbin" to "Did I mention I'm the Republican nominee against Durbin?"

Unfortunately for Sauerberg's supporters, the more people meet him, the less his "base" wants to support him... which probably explains why these Sauerberg cheerleader threads have been ghost towns lately. Sauerberg's so milquetoast makes your guy Corker look like a John Bircher in comparison.

Vote Chad Koppie for U.S. Senate.

=============================================

BTW, If anyone is lurking here looking for REAL Republicans to support in Illinois, I highly recommend checking out the United Republican Fund's "8 in '08" candidate profiles. (See http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/urfs_8_in_08_campaign/ All of them are rising GOP stars in the Illinois and deserving of our support. They will have tough races with Obama on top of the ticket. Most important is supporting Anita Forte-Scott for State Rep. over the treasonous party-switcher Paul "Jim Jeffords clone" Froehlich of Scumbag, I mean, er, Schaumburg, Illinois. The candidates are literally neck and neck in the polls and we CAN take out Froehlich with freeper support. The other excellent candidate is Marty Ozinga running for U.S. Congress to replace the retiring Jerry Weller. He is a great across-the-board conservative who's uncle Frank was an legendary conservative state senator from my town in the 70s. The DemocRAT machine candidate is getting killed over her ties to Blago-Emil Jones corruption, and rightly so.

Exciting SNEAK PREVIEW of Dr. Sauerberg's visit to Rock Island!

OLD LADY: What's your stance on Guenatamo Bay detainees? Is it different than Durbin's?

DR. SAUERBERG: I'm delighted you asked that question. I think it's important the people of Illinois realize there are clear differences between myself and Senator Durbin. Look further than this photograph our senior Senator. As can tell from the picture, I am NOT Dick Durbin. I am Dr. Steve Sauerberg, M.D., and I have medical degree.

OLD LADY: And what would you do about Guenatamo Bay?

DR. SAUERBERG: I've been very clear on that. We cannot afford another six years of Dick Durbin's failed leadership. Next question?
