“Is FR moving slowly for you also?”

I’m glad to see it’s working again. I tried to post earlier, but had to just walk away for awhile. 2 votes here for Adam and Patrick. We’re in the 14th district and Hultgren is ahead of Hastert here.

Alexi still doesn’t have it wrapped up.
Giannoulias , Alexi Dem 132,163 37%
Hoffman , David Dem 120,127 33%
Jackson , Cheryle Dem 85,326 24%

What percentage of the vote is in?

[NormsRevenge]

Too many candidates in the GoP primary, imo. The state parties need to do a better job identifying and grooming them. California is a good example of poor party planning or efforts to identify and nurture a conservative Republican platform.

It’s hard to be noticed in a crowd like that even with good press.. You know how polite and proper conservative candidates are. ;-)

You want a gold medal for supporting a Combiner scumbag ?

I live in an area with alot of Polish. Took my time voting, hung around awhile and talked to the election judges. It was not very busy at the polling place, no Polish voters came in while I was there. I know from talking with people in the neighborhood that they are politically conservative. Just don’t know if they are into the political process as much as they could be.

That's a shame. I figured they'd be electrified with the Walesa endorsement, however, that was an 11th-hour endorsement, and maybe they knew nothing of it. If you're not hooked into the Net, how would you know? My husband said he didn't hear about it on the radio, nor did he see anything about it in the newspaper. Did you perchance?

I really hope this thread doesn’t end up like the 3/21/06 thread did.

Good to see you and GOOD on you!

I went to FaceBook for a while and then kept checking back...lol.

I'm lost regarding Hultgren V Hastert. Denny's son?

[KevinDavis]

No, I live in the real world, not la la land..

[onyx]

You’re so right, NormsRevenge. Our state is a mess.

[TitansAFC]

Whatever.

EVERY FRICKING ELECTION we have to deal with this crap, EVERY ONE.

We are NEVER going to get ANYTHING but RINOs in IL because of it - EVER.

In my area..I heard radio ads for Proft several times a day. Rarely heard anything for Andrzejeski. I heard lots for Dillard too. Mostly Proft.

[NormsRevenge]

Have no Fear, LT. Gub nominee, Abel Maldonado may save us all yet... if he survives the hearings he faces and the aRnoid gets alien abducted. :)

[KevinDavis]

Even though I voted for Brady, but go Dillard...
