GOP ahead in Illinois

Republicans continue to lead the races for both Governor and Senator in Illinois, albeit by close margins. Mark Kirk is ahead of Alexi Giannoulias 46-42 for the state's open Senate seat and Bill Brady is ahead of Pat Quinn 45-40 for Governor.

There are three main reasons Republicans are headed for big gains across the country this year and the Illinois races exemplify all three of them:

-Independents are leaning strongly toward the GOP. Kirk leads Giannoulias 46-31 with them and Brady has a 45-27 advantage over Quinn with them.

-Republican voters are much more unified around their candidates this year than Democrats are. 87% of GOP identifiers are planning to vote for Kirk while only 78% of Democrats are planning to vote for Giannoulias. In the Governor's race 86% of Republicans support Brady while Quinn's only getting 75% support from his party.

That may be within the margin of fraud. Kirk needs a 4% edge.

It looks like it is going to come down to WV, CA and WA.

Yes. If I had to guess, I would think that the tea party candidates would outperform the polls more so than RINOs.

Power has been abused (filing suit against Arizona) and exploited by Democrats. It's unbelievable that the US government is suing an American state for resisting invasions from foreign criminals! Then, remember on May 19th, all Democrats stood to cheer a foreign leader who had just condemned Arizona law makers for protecting American citizens. Evidence that liberals cannot rely on reasonable adults for votes.

Forget the polls, forget the media spin. Go to the ballot box and put an end to the Dem Party on November 2, 2010. Are you ready to throw this putrid bunch out on their heads?

And then there's this train wreck economy to keep in mind also.

The Rats are shovel-ready for the dust bin of history.

Oh, and for you RHINOs who are comfortable putting politics ahead of country, we're come for you too!

A liberal polling group predicting wins for GOP in WA and AK.

What to make of it?

Good question. For one thing, if a polling firm is consistantly wrong, it damages their credibility and business, regardless of its partisan leanings.
