LET'S GO CONSERVATIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JustPiper]

Don’t want no stinkin’ recount

[TitansAFC]

That’s the concern.

There’s potentially 50,000 votes still out in RINO territory.

Come on, Brady.........!!!

[Chi-townChief]

Now there’s a lame field if ever I saw one.

[Maelstorm]

This is a bad primary in the middle of Winter. I wouldn’t use it as an indicator. I am heartened that it looks like Brady may win the primary for Gov. I think Republicans will do very well in the General election. I think this primary is crap and I think third parties should get on the ball and start working hard to take advantage of the current environment. There is an opening in the Senate race for a third party. We need someone who can capitalize on the fact it looks like a they will be running against a corrupt Democrat and a liberal Cap and Trade Republican. If you can’t win against those to things then conservatives might as well give up in Illinois.

How do we have so many more precincts reporting for the Democrats than the Republicans at this time? Shouldn’t it be 100% the same?

Holy crap

DAMMIT! I knew the city votes were going to hurt.........and almost all of the votes yet to count are RINO territory.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!!!

[whatisthetruth]

Then he’s worse than a Democrat. Why do we want him to win?

[BillyBoy]

Wow. Victory is in reach for conservatives with conservative downstate state senator Bill Brady now ahead of the combine choices by 1%. This could down to the wire.

Let's pray he pulls it off. As someone else mentioned, a Brady/Plummer ticket would be the most conservative GOP ticket for Illinois governor in decades. And Quinn eeks out a win in the primary, we have a very good chance of winning this state in November.

I do hope the Andrewjewski supporters will think over all the "Brady was a Topinka plant" smears they've been hurling against for the last four years. No Brady's not perfect, and yes his flip-flop on SB600 sucked, but all this stuff that it's "Brady's fault" we ended with a liberal Governor should be put to bed like the "Supreme Court gave Bush the presidency" garbage. Yes, Brady and Oberweis split the conservative vote in 2006 and that allowed Toopinko to get the nomination, but Oberweis was the nominee he would have lost to Blago anyway and we'd be in the exact same situation we're in now.

The whole "Brady was a Topinka plant" smear is based on the idea that "Brady should have dropped out because Oberweis was polling higher", but this election Brady was the highest polling conservative throughout the race, but the Adam supporters NEVER demanded Adam drop out when the shoe was on the other foot and Brady outpolled Adam througout the 2010 race. Funny how those rules didn't apply except when their preferred candidate was the "highest polling conservative".

Adam seems to be a good guy, is a great speaker, and has potential as a future candidate with a good and solid conservative platform -- but I found the conduct of his supporters to be a real turn off. I hope they can agree to get behind Brady if he wins and we can seriously look at Adam in the future if he runs for a smaller office that gives him a much better chance to win.

[Crichton]

Jim Oberweis supporters are going to be mad.

Jim Oberweis supporters need to go jump in a lake. Talk about wasted space, hopefully that guy has given up polluting politics now.

Might want to roll back that comment.
