Bobby Schilling appears to be a go for the special election. He’s making a “special announcement” later today.
In other news, it’s being reported that Cleland in a skirt (Suckworthless) is throwing her hat into the ring against Kirk.
Many of you feel differently but I would literally crawl over broken glass to vote for Kirk’s RINO keister over that disgrace.
Will any other rats dare to primary the “wounded warrior”?
Yesterday, on WGN-AM news, an anchorman said, “Congressman Bill Foster indicated he’s going to run for the U.S. Senate.”
Which Republicans will run for Congress in the 8th & 11th Districts?
Schilling out. He was mulling a run against LaThug Jr. but “changed his mind” overnite and endorsed daddy’s boy. $50 says the combine twisted his arm and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse (the same thing that happened when Jim Durkin threatened to run against Kirk for the Senate after his cap n’ trade vote, then did a 180o about face and endorsed him):

I was going to point out that it’s hard to say whether Schilling or Jil Tracy would be stronger against LaThug, but its a mute point now. Tracy is still “undecided” as of right now. The combine has been trying to talk her into instead running against downstate RAT state senator John Sullivan in 2016. She’s be foolish to take that bait. Sullivan defeated a 12 term GOP incumbent in a Republican friendly district during a big upset. He was considered “vunerable” for a while because of the old lines of the district, but won re-election handily and the district has since been redrawn by the RATs to lean much more RAT. It would be an uphill battle to defeat Sullivan. On the other hand, if Tracy can defeat the LaThug machine in the primary, the general election would be a cakewalk.
Fieldmarshaldj accurately predicted that the combine & GOP establishment is working hard behind the scenes to “clear the field” for LaThug to be coronated. If they can’t bribe Tracy, they’ll try blackmailing her next.
What sickening is numerous “grassroot conservatives” and “Tea Party activists” are joining hands with Rauner and the combine to cheerlead for LaThug’s son and heap praise on him.
