Yes! Brady has pulled into 2nd place. OK, all I know about most of these guys is what I read on their web sites, but Brady is proudly prolife. (Lech Walesa's endorsement had me pulling for Andrew Andrzejewski, but he's in 5th.)

As a Roman Catholic, Senator Brady is pro-life and believes government has an obligation to protect innocent human life. He has been consistently pro-life and supported by pro-life groups and has a 100 percent pro-life voting record.

Senator Brady opposes any use of taxpayer funds for embryonic stem cell research. He believes the state’s focus needs to be maximizing the advances in health care and focusing on the real gains of adult stem cell research to treat and cure disease...

Senator Brady has been a leading advocate of limiting government involvement in health care, believing the private market can best provide health services. He has battled the Rezko/Blajojevich corruption on the Health Facilities Planning Board and fought for more modern standards for the Board to use in authorizing construction of hospitals and delivery of medical services.

Cao from Louisiana

I hope then LA works to get that seat!

Speceter ran as a Democrat because he knew he couldn’t win a Republican primary. His poor polling shows that his party switch looked flaky and opportunistic. I don’t blame you for disliking Kirk’s record, but conservatives may have some leverage over him now.

Kirk is the second most liberal Republican in the house imo after Mike Castle, who is also running for the Senate.

Arlen Specter/Olympia Snowe.

[KevinDavis]

I think so..

That is my strategy.. Lets get real.. A Jim DeMint type can't get elected in Illinois. We have to make do in what we have. Convince Kirk to stay on our side..

Thank goodness for Conservative states, otherwise were would we be?

I voted for Brady.. I tend to trust downstate politicians than Chicago area politicians..

[Dr. Sivana]

OK, all I know about most of these guys is what I read on their web sites, but Brady is proudly prolife.

I voted Adam, but on this board I explicitly defended Brady against charges of splitting the vote. I did appeal to the Proft people to pick Adam if you were pro SB600, or Brady if you thought that an elected official would be preferred. At this point, I will of course pull for Brady, he obviously has grass roots support as he didn't have that much advertising.

Brady pulling ahead? That is good news.

[Marmolade]

Thanks for posting CD 5. There’s not too many more votes to count over there. Not looking good.

[Chi-townChief]

That’s surprising!!
