The differences in the three GOP candidatse in the golden state havebeen plastered all over FreeRepublic. Apply the same sitution with Illinois and you can see where this is headed:
1) The annointed "establishment" candidate is some dull guy losing steam by attempting to blur his mushy message to appeal to all "factions"-- he tells conservatives he's conservative, moderates that he's moderate. He wants the nomination because it's "his turn". In California, that man in Secretary of State Bill Jones. In Illinois, it's Attoneny General Jim Ryan.
2) The RINO candidate has so throughly incessented the party's base that they have NO chance of getting the nomination, instead they just suck moderate votes away from the establishment candidate. The RINO candidate is some dope being pushed by country-club out of staters who insist he/she is the "only" Republican who can win the general election, despite the fact he/she is JUST as liberal as the DEMOCRAT candidate, if not more so. In California, this is Mayor Dick Riordan of L.A. In Illinois, it's Lt. Governor Corinne Wood.
3) The conservative candidate is pressing ahead with suprise endorsements and a vigorous core group of supporters. He runs on pure adrenialin with a focus, logical, and charmatic message of reforming the state after four years of corruption and seizing control of the staggering state GOP so they can fight back. In California, that man is Bill Simon. In Illinois, it's Pat O'Malley.
It's time to spread their messages NATIONWIDE, because the GOP "leaders" in swing states better watch their back. They have FAILED to stop the Democrats and the corruption, even when they "win" statewide office. WE WILL.
RALLY 'ROUND O'MALLEY!
