Former GOP Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin impressed Illinois’ top Republicans willing to spend $500 to $25,000 at a fund-raiser for the state party Wednesday.
“We talked about the situation in Illinois — the deficit, the high taxes, job creation,” said the party’s nominee for governor, State Sen. Bill Brady of Bloomington. “I told her, ‘Your being here is helping rally the troops and get the message out.’”
“She came in and was gracious enough to help us raise money,” said state Sen. Jim Durkin. “It was very low-key, no speeches. She just met with people and talked with them. She said we have the chance to win many seats. People were very eager to take out their check books.”
“It was a moving experience,” said former GOP candidate for governor Adam Andrzejewski. “She was very personable. She was encouraging us to keep up the fight for reform in Illinois.”

God Bless Sarah! Sounds like a great fundraiser.
why did she support that worm McCain? She is political history. NO AMNESTY!!!!
(((((((Ping))))))
But does the GOP impress Sarah?
In other words, Democrats.
she is loyal....to a fault. to be honest, few of my friends agree with me on every issue......I still love them to pieces.
Please! The Democrat GOP if you say so didn’t show up....they avoided her!
You are not going to tale over this thread, buddy
Wake up Illinois, Sarah is for Amnesty!
She should do more of this, most that meet her come away impressed.
If McCain picks Romney or Pawlenty,Palin remains the unknown governor of a totally out of the way state. Heput her on the national stage. My guess is she has a sense of personal loyalty. I like that in a person.It shows a sense of honor.
She quit her job and she supports Juan McAmnesty. I am through with her. Good luck
Hey NewBie Ron Paul voted for Amnesty in 2002
You can say that again! Did you read how the Repub. scum in Illinois took teacher union money and voted AGAINST school vouchers! The one issue that could have won them the black vote in Illinois and they blew it.
Read William McGurn's column yesterday in the WSJ...it'll make you sick!
Wow. FR is becoming troll paradise.
Many Germans executed were very loyal to Hitler.(wonderful trait huh?) What difference does it make that she was loyal to this socialist open border amnesty freak? She is POLITICAL history.
