Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
‘Do I look like the type of guy who would sit there and actually listen to my wife?” I hope he invested in a good couch.
Who do I call to get press credentials to the State Convention?
Specter pulls out a narrow victory.
The earlier leaked poll from Harstad for the Obama campaign confirms one reason why I put some stock in it–the Presidential numbers are in line with other polls: A statewide poll taken for Illinois Democratic Senate hopeful Barack Obama pegs Kerry at 51 percent compared to 37 percent for Bush. The internals in the poll […]
Mark Brown tackles the Governor’s defunding of a well run program to encourage high quality students to become teachers. One reason could be the fact that Golden Apple was brought into the state fold under former Gov. Jim Edgar. Blagojevich isn’t going to go further up the political ladder by touting great programs started by […]
Oneman is addressing Joyce’s most recent column. What he said. And, umm…state Republicans are right on this issue. One of the ways to mitigate the impact of sprawl is through preservation of green space. These sorts of programs are pretty effective and relatively cheap–without the hassles over fighting over private property restrictions.
What a weiner. I really have had it with Blagojevich’s using the budgetary process to try and win the next election instead of seriously sitting down with some of the adults in Springfield and making a budget. The Trib calls him on his math today, and does an excellent job criticizing his educational priorities. The […]
He’s not at the top of my list this week and his avoidance of dealing with the Chief isn’t helping. The Chief is a horrible stereotype of a proud tribe. It has to go. Whether Emil Jones shot across the bow is the most effective means to do so is open to question, but at […]
G-Rod appears to be connected to the change in health care providers for state workers that is only now starting to filter through the news. Cross’ people are all over it. I don’t believe my family members are affected, but knowing how they value their benefits, this isn’t the way to make friends. The sudden […]
The Leader ran a piece claiming he was in, but he is saying that he’ll allow his name into consideration. While I often make fun of the Republican intra-party fights, this is a good one to have. Rauschenberger is a principled straight up guy against a political hack.
Eric Zorn points out the most bizarre bit on Matt Hale, the judge had originally ruled for him.
A review of Arriana Huffington’s Fanatics and Fools . They nicely provided me a copy and I’ll nicely give it some mention. but not yet, I’m not done with it. You can buy it at Amazon.
Coming Soon to ArchPundit! I love those guys. I’ll post there, and they’ll post here. Details to come probably next week. Charles Kuffner has one up now on Texas and Jesse is up at Off the Kuff
Moderate Republican Jack Quinn has announced his retirement putting his Democratic leaning District in play. Reminding everyone that Melissa Bean could be going to a very close House of Representatives.
I’m calling Pennsylvania for Toomey. So donate to Obama so that Hoeffel can get more DSCC funds. On the right at the top. Note: Highly unscientific feel that Toomey’s people are motivated and Specter’s aren’t is leading to this call!
