No - THIS is the type of area that conservatives UNITED should RUN a candidate to oppose BOTH the Dem and the Republican in the general election.
Properly chosen, a much more conservative candidate in this area can allow the Dem and Gop to split the liberals and garner sufficient conservatives to take a 38% victory - much as Buckley was able to do in his 1970 NY Senate victory on the conservative ticket.
This is a good example of the place for Tea partiers to concentrate effort and money outside the GOP.
Absolutely! But we need a candidate to come forward.
If Pat Hughes felt he could have made a difference given more time and more exposure he should give it a shot.
There’s a lot of fed up people in Illinois and I think with $money, endorsements and Tea Party support this state can be resurrected.
C’mon Pat, RUN!!
