Indeed.. I voted for Kirk cause I knew he has the best shot of winning.

Well, that's certainly the mature and intelligent thing to do in the general when faced with a choice between even a moderate/liberal Republican with a 60 ACU rating vs. a Marxist Democrat with a 3 ACU rating - especially for a six year Senate term.

The Combine thanks you for your support of liberal crooks. Tell me again, Davis, why are you on a Conservative website ?

[Daisyjane69]

I know that the whole pond is contaminated. But evidently his worry is more about what Giannoulias (and family) are capable of, especially with Obama in the WH.

Wonder how long it’s going to take Obama to call off the investigators on the family bank.

Brown and Kirk are either the 41st and 42nd vote against Obamacare or the 60th and 61st for Cap and trade or ProChoice.. that is should Kirk win the Senate seat..

I guess it just depends on the spectrum or prism one observes their future votes thru. I hate to see the snarling and yapping that ensues events here but.. it goes with the astroturf. :-)

I hope that Hultgren wins this. He’s won elections before, unlike Hastert the Younger.

I’m sick of these liberal trolls. This guy is giving wholehearted support to the cancer killing the state of Illinois and rubbing our faces in it.

I’m a troll??? I have been here since 99 you idiot!!!!!

[Clintonfatigued]

The Senate result is no surprise on the Republican side. However, it would be a huge upset if Giannoulias were to lose, a huge rebuke to the ‘Rat Machine.

I’m not at all fond of this Kirk fellow, but I will like him a lot more than the democrat bankster friend of Obama’s.

[Maelstorm]

He is going to lose because he isn’t going to get the base vote. He is going to get disengaged conservatives but he isn’t going to have the most loyal or the most hard working grassroots working for him. This primary is a joke. Having one in Feb is idiotic. Also what in the hell were the single digit candidates following Hughes thinking? Talk about divide and conquer conservatism. Kirk is 8 points behind the Democrat challenger. Tell me how he can win?

[Marmolade]

“not “pure” enough”

LOL. For as left leaning as he is, how can you think he would represent the conservatives? I know he doesn’t represent me, based on his past votes. Do you think by his past votes, he is representing what you stand for?

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Now this is interesting:

U.S. House - District 10 - GOP Primary
Illinois - 447 of 511 Precincts Reporting - 87%
Name Party Votes Vote %
Dold , Robert GOP 16,073 39%
Coulson , Elizabeth GOP 12,439 30%
Green , Dick GOP 6,095 15%
Friedman , Arie GOP 5,758 14%
Hamann , Paul GOP 828 2%

Now this is the Republican primary to nominate someone for Kirk’s open House seat. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Dold the conservative and Coulson the moderate?
