[Non-Sequitur]

You disagree with that assessment?

Not that the party is splintered. But I'd classify the split as between social Conservatives and fiscal Conservatives.

I'm starting to work on a Key Race Spotlight blog for these races and would appreciate input. This will be part of a Key House Race website which is being currently constructed by InterceptPoint. One of the purposes of the Key House Race (formerly Vulnerable Democrat Master List) project is to promote true conservative candidates both in the primaries and the general and to encourage financial and on the ground support for those conservative candidates. More and more conservatives are loathe to contribute to the RNC, so this gives them some targeted options.

Since the IL primary candidates are set, I'd like to start with IL Districts 8, 10, 11 and 14. See candidates above on Master List.

If you have any firsthand information or sources to information about these IL races (polling information would be terrific, if it's available) or links to any articles in local rags concerning the race, please Freepmail me ASAP.

The Lone Star State is next, so if you have any info about TX 17, 23, and 25, please send it my way.

If you'd like to help me with this Key Race Spotlight blog, let me know. There are almost 100 races which need spotlit and only 7 months until Nov.!

Your help is greatly appreciated.
