1. Salvi. Until someone connects him to McCulloch and then he’ll be toxic to conservatives.
2. Jack! Well, hell, he still is the candidate maybe he really is getting back in since there is no reason he couldn’t have sent in the damn paperwork before.
3. Dillard. Probably getting out. Who can blame him. Wingnuts in Leader Board want to open his divorce files. Unclear if they are closed. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the Leader before.
4. Elizabeth Gorman. Will raise name recognition and might not hurt her since everyone pretty much understands this is a suicide mission.
5. John Cox. No one likes him, but what the hell, it might be funny to watch him blow a million of his own cash.
6. Robert Plummer. Edwardsville Businessman. Really, he isn’t a trial lawyer and he works in Edwardsville. Who knew?
7. Corinne Wood. An answer to the question of whether social conservatives might actually ever vote for Barack Obama.
8. The OberFurher. Would the President show up in Illinois to campaign against this guy?
9. Borling. McCain might bring some attention to him.
10. George Wendt. I told you I was going to do it.
11. Jonathan Wright. Who? What? Where?
12. Kathuria. Resume line, Came in third to President Obama in the 2004 Senate race and surprisingly strong libertarian Jerry Kohn.

I’ve been reading the posts for weeks, and I have a suggestion that has been oft overlooked during these turbulent times.
Lawrence Tero.
Better known to you as Mr. T.
I pity the fool that can find me a better GOP candidate.
But transportation might be a problem:
“I aint flying in no plane, crazy fool!”
forget Norm, forget Dikta, the only hope for the GOP in Illinois is to nominate en masse, Styx.
that way if Tommy Shaw or Dennis De Young declines the nomination, there are still at least four remaining members of the band in the Senate race
What about Pate? Didn’t he get them into this mess starting years and years ago?
Frank Thomas isn’t doing anything until mid-September. As long as he doesn’t put too much weight on his left foot, he can campaign using the classic Republican slogan “speak softly and carry a big stick.”
But he’d have to come back to the Sox for October.
You Morons!
I’m the candidate. I can win. Kevheads all over Chicagoland will vote for me.
C’mon suckies!
You leave me off this list one more time and I’m going to sick Butthead on you.
I just thought you might be interested in hearing that when I read the end of this entry and saw the name “Jerry Kohn”, I assumed that it was a joke, transposing the first letters of a certain Democrat’s name.
That’s why the Libertarians are a joke.
Jerry Kohn announced his candidacy in October 2003, long before the Dem primary even began.
Libertarians are less of a joke than the Republicans, who can’t even find a Senate candidate, and the IL Dems, who cost us $300,000 because they can’t even agree on a budget two months after it was due when they have complete control of Springfield. Our jokes are at least funny. The Reps and Dems are sad, sick, corrupt, and costly.
I’ll agree with you there, Jeff.
Jeff, I’m gonna have to disagree with you. I didn’t think the name was especially funny — if I had, I never would have Googled it and learned that he was a real guy.
