For those who can’t bring themselves to vote or support otherwise Kirk, but still don’t want to give up on the state that provided Lincoln and Reagan I suggest supporting devoting whatever they can give to Brady for IL Gov. in the fall, presuming his tiny lead holds. He’s certainly more conservative than Kirk, probably about as conservative as one can hope for coming out of present day Illinois. His powerbase is downstate, not Cook county and not from the liberal state GOP establishment. The Democrats had a fairly bitter primary and public opinion of Quinn’s administration is about as poor as can be for a Democrat in the state absent criminal charges. The race is winnable. If Brady wins not only will the state government get a bit better, but the state GOP party would undergo a much needed restructuring. The next US Senate race might not feature a RINO shoved down our throat.
Don’t confuse people with practical suggestions. It’s more fuflling to bluster and bomb asts. The world is going to hell, there’s nothing we can do about it, everyone in Illinois is a tool of the Devil, the sky is falling.
