RE: “If the Illinois GOP wasn’t a disaster, Durbin would be on the ropes.”

The GOP - or should I say Tea Party - had some success in 2010.

Mark Kirk, a Republican, was elected to the U.S. Senate.

Curiously, Hispanics and Blacks in Cook County have almost equal numbers, both of them just shy of 25%.

Perhaps some day the invisible Conservative Hispanics we always hear about will show up at the polls and help elect some Republicans in Illinois.

By the way, for those readers who actually think Hispanics are Conservative, please consider this:

Albuquerque, New Mexico just voted down a ban on late term abortions, 55%-45%.

47% of the people who live in Albuquerque are Hispanic.

Not one Hispanic organization in the state publicly supported the ban.

If Mark Kirk's a Republican, Rosie O'Donnell is anorexic.

ROFL. Kirk is even more liberal than most Democrats.
