LET'S GO CONSERVATIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a start in the land of Mass. If the poor ignorants get a hint of a taste of conservatism, it may begin their long and painful rehabilitation. The Reds suffered a defeat there and they know it. Any pain for them is joy and pleasure for me.
See? We share the same sentiment. I also feel very sad for all the people who toiled unsuccessfully. Robust primaries are great, but NOT when the conservative vote is going to be widely divided. It’s almost as though a pre-primary is needed. Maybe a debate forum and a straw poll, which isn’t all that fair either. The ability to raise money used to serve as a bellwether. It might be true that there are some states wherein a conservative is not going to win a statewide election, but we won’t really know unless we try.
I haven’t lived in Chicago for many years, so I don’t know the players, but I googled Dillard earlier and found out he’s an Obama/Blago/tax/debt lovin’ RINO, so I’m glad he lost. Having a RINO that around 80 percent of Republican primary voters voted against would have guaranteed a Dem victory, in any case.

I dunno....I’m in Pennsylvania, in the midst of the PA Dutch Conservative region. AFAIAC, any liberal is an ass.

oops d 859 vs r 835
my bad but very interesting none the less
Dold is bleh, not as bad as Coulson, but that’s not saying much. Has Hultgren been confirmed as the winner ? I wouldn’t be surprised if the Combine does to him in the general what they did to Lauzen in the prior primary. As for the 8th, I wasn’t following that one as closely as the Hastert-Hultgren one.
