Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now

Obama Truth Squad’s newest bit is out, but not posted yet. They take on Obama’s position on gay marriage, but misrepresent the questions being dealt with. Oak Park, IL ? In a letter to the editor of the ?Windy City Times? on February 11, 2004 US Sen. candidate State Sen. Barack Obama wrote: ?For the […]
Here: Just so everyone is clear as they needlessly and erroneously (surpise) criticize ex-Ryan staffers about doing the Keyes race for the money, there is no monetary reason to do the Keyes race because we (me and other ex-Ryan people) make the same either way. For the nabobs of nonsense out there, you will recall […]
From a hysterical thread on Keyes Well I?ll just state the events of yesterday dampen my enthusiasm for a variety of reasons, not least of which is there is no mention of reparations for those who had their ?property? seized by the state without just compensation. So where are the reparations for the descendents of […]
Bloviator has the details.
Thanks to a reader, Front Page Magazine launches a broadside against Keyes. It’s harsher than the Weekly Standard piece by Murphy, though not nearly as amusing.
Via Join Cross who has a staff a bit perplexed by this one Syverson doesn’t think voters are worried about social issues. They note that Obama, who won his party’s spring primary, has a significant head start in campaigning and fund-raising. And state Sen. Dave Syverson, the Rockford Republican credited with luring Keyes into the […]
Chuck Sweeney takes on Obama’s silence in regards to Rockford’s airport.

Rockford is especially well suited to deal with cargo and increased traffic […]
I predicted the GOP meltdown would occur yesterday. Two reasons it may not have happened include: 1) The party faithful are shellshocked 2) The party faithful can’t get a word in edge wise 3) The party faithful are biting their tongues until the press gets so bad that they have to say something. Kadner offers […]
Keyes was interviewed on a local radio station this morning (he’ll be in town for Republican Day at the state fair). The final question of the interview was basically: “You talk about changing the tone of campaigning. Do you have anything positive to say about your opponent, Barack Obama, in this race?” His reply: “Based […]
Greg Blankenship of the Illinois Policy Institute and publisher of A New Can of Worms leaves the following in comments. The pharmaceuticals have seen the writing on the wall in DC. As I hear things, they will simply seek language that insures they won’t be held liable (I spoke to a trusted friend who attended […]
The larger problem the Illinois GOP is not facing is that Keyes hurts them downballot. While he might turnout some hardcore conservatives, he’s absolutely toxic to moderate Republicans. While voters who always turnout will show up at the polls, with the top of the ticket hobbled in Illinois with an unpopular President in the State […]
Eric Krol’s story suggests where the campaign is headed–into satire as the press tires of a loon: Republican U.S. Senate nominee Alan Keyes used his first major public speech Wednesday to say gay people are sinners, those who would allow women to have abortions in cases of rape or incest lack integrity and his opponent […]
