Holy s**t this is close! My mom was planning to vote for Brady but voted for Proft at the last minute thinking the three RINOs were ahead so no conservative had a chance. She says in hindsight she wishes she had voted Brady!!! We better combiner Dillard who endorsed Obama and Lisa Madigan doesn't win this one... he and Mark Kirk at the top of the ticket will kill GOP turnout in November.
All the freepers who demanded we “get behind Oberweis” because he was the “highest polling conservative and we must stop a RINO”, then flip-flopped four years later and kept pushing for Adam Andrejewski when Brady was the only conservative in double digits should be eating crow now. Not that I haven't had my own share of backing the wrong horse in a primary that I later regret, but it would be just desserts if Adam gets called a “Dillard plant who split the conservative vote” for the next four years.

My mom voted for Adam cause she likes him.
I should have pressed stronger that Brady was gonna be the top conservative.
