Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
Thanks Blagorgeous–that was useful.
I had linked to this article screaming about Topinka’s participation in the Pride Parade. From the 1996 Republican Convention as reported in the San Francisco Chronicle While GOP television showed pictures of speakers praising one another at the podium, a very different scene erupted in the back of the convention hall. ”Abortion is murder!” Ken […]

Rod McCulloch’s decision and reaction is covered by Mark Brown. Remember, McCulloch put his career on the line for this–Republicans could use a few more people willing to go out on a limb for this kind of crap.
IT’S BACK! 1. Steve Rauschenberger. Smart and has ties to both sides of the Illinois Circular Firing Squad Team’s civil war. Probably the only candidate without significant detractors on eitehr side. Willing to take the nomination, but a mediocre fundraiser. Will run hard and work hard for friends in the Lege. Best thing–they would produce […]
This time from Time That picture is going to be the picture of the cycle–well beside the horrible trib photo of Ryan.
Gone! Dammit. Server switch and I thought I was in the clear. Apparently not. Some more later.
I’m not going to redo all of the posts from yesterday, but here are some of the top links: Kass Zorn Miller To sum up–beyond the issue of lying about a fellow Party Member–remember, Ryan called McCulloch a liar which we now know McCulloch must have seen the full file–though some specifics might be off, […]
Rich Miller reports what has long been whispered about in Springfield: SPECIAL STUFF (excerpt) Republican and Democratic insiders in both chambers are complaining that the governor’s budget negotiating style leaves a lot to be desired. The most important observation, from every single caucus under the dome, is that Blagojevich will appear to agree to things, […]
Dan Proft is threatening to sue for Kerry’s divorce records that he claims are sealed. He does get some support from Drudge, but still waiting to hear if the files are actually sealed or not. The Drudge story seems to imply this is the Trib’s idea. One of many reasons it seems suspect. But as […]
Still waiting for a correction to Jill Stanek’s column that insisted Ryan’s divorce files were sealed from the time of the divorce. They weren’t, they were sealed in September of 2001 after being open since June of 2000.
I should have started this yesterday, but I’m curious how long it will take the Leader to issue a correction to Jill Stanek’s column regarding Jack!’s files. She states: Sorry, the custody records have always been sealed, until Monday, June 21. Also contrary to another rumor, there are no unredacted versions out there. This is […]
Well, really an old one, but you gotta click on the ad to the right–Draft Ditka for the Republican Party Chair. Angering Soccer fans everywhere….. Oh, and go donate to Obama.
I gave credit to the Illinois Leader for publishing the full talking points the other day, Fran Eaton comments on them… We also provided the raw, unedited version of the Ryan campaign?s distributed talking points. Frankly, I thought several points made were weak and embarrassing attempts to point attention away from the candidate and his […]
The Leader says they are still planning on suing, but we still don’t know if the records are even sealed. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they records weren’t sealed and the Boston Globe had already reviewed them? A good place to start on that marriage, might be the book Julia Thorne wrote on the divorce […]
