You simply ask for the ballot of the party of your choice. But I don’t think deliberate efforts by one party to interfere with the other took place in ANY of the major races. The major ones were too hotly contested and candidates needed all their own people to vote for them rather then sending them over to influence the other party.

Look, Kirk won because he had no real opposition. Stop trying to explain it by some Democrat conspiracy to slate a weak candidate. The Dems would a million times rather have had Hughes than Kirk to run against.

The congressional races in the 8th and 10th (Kirk’s vacated seat) and 14th districts produced good conservative Republican candidates. The governor/lt. gov. races were won by strong conservatives. So now someone says the Combine will deliberately destroy Brady? No! They don’t have that power any more. What will destroy Brady is infighting among conservatives. If the conservatives would just get behind Brady (or Dillard) and back him in unity instead of bickering among themselves he’ll win.

I get so tired of the defeatist attitude I see on FR. Yes, there are plenty of Rinos out there and plenty of bad things have happened.

But some darn good things happened tonight in Illinois. Wake up, take an honest look at the situation. Stop fighting the last war.

Unfortunately, it's a Senate race, not a congressional district. Kirk on many important issues seems a new Sununo or a Specter-in-progress.
