1) You should have run! Just think, me (4th), you (1st), Hockeyfan (3rd) and Phil (9th), elected to Congress when “climate change” comes to hell and the Sun sets in the east.
3) Not putting up ANY real candidate there is unacceptable. It’s notable that Romney did better there than in the 8th, 10th or 17th. The GOP ceiling for that seat is probably lower though, cause of the Chicago portion of the district. As DJ pointed out the seat is the most ancestrally rat in the state, we’ve held every other district at one point since we’ve last held it.
I would leave the office blank if lived there since it’s safe dem anyway, dems are bad as Nazis at this point, anyone who calls Pelosi’s name for Speaker is voting for the enabling act. I’d only vote for a dem for Congress if it was Dem V. Dem like can happen now in California.
4)Guit won 60% in the 1992 primary and 64% in 1994, both against Alderman Juan Soliz. It hasn’t been that close for him since. It’s surreal what his challenger is saying.
5)Before Flanagan the last GOPer to hold the seat (though it was a much smaller seat at that time) was elected in 1930 (he GAINED the seat, no other Republican picked up a House seat that year) thanks to the support of the mafia stuffing the ballot boxes because the rat incumbent had turned on them or something, the rat House eventually seated the defeated dem.
6)They might have taken the seat, if they hadn’t stuffed more Republicans into the district to shore up the 8th.
7)Filthy traitor
10)I remember John Gizzi of “Human Events” (now Newsmax.com) thought Kirk would be an improvement over John Porter.
12)What’s wrong with Bost?
13)Davis beat Harold 55-41 with the rest going to a third place loser who shouldn’t have run.
All the GOP seats are totally safe other than Dold, Bost, and Davis. And the later 2 oughta win easily.
No excuse not to have solid conservatives from all our seats other than the 10th, which could do better itself, but won’t.
Phil: “I emailed my resume to Liz Pahlke, and I asked if I can work for her campaign. She said that I have a lot of political experience, but she only wants to hire employees who have no experience.”
Wow, lame. Why the hell is she bothering? I hope she gets tossed off the ballot.
Impy, I hope you’ll run for Congress, in the 4th District, as a primary write-in candidate. If you run and enough people (about 200) write your name and vote for you, you’ll win the nomination.
