Well you are in a red state. Most of us in IL respect Alan Keyes but he was the WORST candidate to run against Zero in 2004. If Jack Ryan stayed in the race we may have a Cheney Administration right now...
He may be a Diablo, RINO or whatever but when I spotted Pat Quinn my blood pressure spiked and I had to have my dad calm me down otherwise I may have ran on the field.
On the other hand I've met with Mark Kirk in person and so far he is to the right of Scott Brown, the Maine Twins, McCain/Grahmnesty and Lugar.
DJ when you and I got into it a long time ago I told you Mark was a history buff and I really did believe he was legit. I'm starting to drink my own kool-aid and believe he only voted socialist for that hell hole district up North (all who are Cubs fans mind you...)
:D
Oh and for impy.... GO BEARS!!! SUPERBOWL 2012!!!
