The earlier post about the Ozinga campaign, was not the Ozinga campaign, but the Ozinga business. Same basic point remains, but I wanted to be accurate. If you are an interested party in something I post, either identifying yourself publicly in response or e-mailing me privately is your best bet. As long as you say […]

Rich reports on a report to him that Boehner said Oberweis should get out of the race. I’m told House Republican Leader John Boehner said at a recent event that he wants Oberweis out of the race. Boehner’s campaign office did not return a call asking for comment. I’m not sure Oberweis will ever drop […]

When you write in to talk about a campaign you work on from the computers at that campaign, you want to identify yourself as being from the campaign. In general, I protect privacy pretty well on here, but I don’t like campaigns hiding behind anonymity when posting. If it’s unrelated to your race or something, […]

Ozinga won’t trip the Millionaire’s amendment. One presumes that the RNCC is crying as they have no money and one of their recruited self funders just announced he won’t self fund. Oh, and he wants to stay in Iraq for as long as it takes to have a functioning Iraqi state. That isn’t even working […]

Remember when the RNCC and the RNSC were both recruiting Steve Greenberg to run in 2008. The RNCC “won” that battle and now have Greenberg slated against Melissa Bean with a whopping $5,000 on hand. Sauerberg looks like a genius in comparison.

Team America is getting his panties in a twist because, get this, Dan Seals includes where he works on his campaign site: A group of NU students are not so willing to let Seals slide, however. In addition to less formal protests against Seals from NU students, a formal letter has been sent to NU […]

NRCC hits him and rightfully so. Hurckes, a man of no small ego, is not merely Dan Lipinski’s chief of staff, earning $107,224. Nor also just a paid consultant to Bill Lipinski’s dubious foundation, the All American Eagles, which brags about helping kids but mostly helps fund friendly candidates. Hurckes also is a trustee of […]

Greenberg keeps up the attack on Bean. Let me be clear here. I disagree with Bean on policy towards Serbia. However, her views aren’t anti-American. So, Bean has natural reasons to support the Serbian position and receive money from Serbian Americans. Swami takes no side for now on the ancient, underlying dispute, but he […]

Rod Blagojevich. So what do they appear to be ready to do? Nominate a guy in the 11th who has given Rod $23,000. The entire rap on Halvorson is that she is close to Emil Jones and thus Blagojevich. By choosing this clown (who also has some issues with minority contracting fraud), that entire […]

WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE! Because Bill Foster voted for a procedural vote that blocked the Senate FISA bill–as he said he would when he was campaigning. The real question is why won’t the President sign a bill without retroactive immunity for telecoms. The House can pass that and the Senate can pass that. The […]

Reports of his demise from this list were greatly exaggerated. DCCC named him to the first group of challengers in Red-To-Blue It’s a pretty impressive list and Dan is one of the top candidates on that list with Kay Barnes, Eric Massa, Christine Jennings, and Darcy Burner. On the other hand, the NRCC announced: In […]

[kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Aeb-id21IEQ” width=”425″ height=”350″ wmode=”transparent” /] Rep. Foster: “And now as you can probably already tell, we scientists aren’t known for our fiery rhetoric, but as I stand before you today, it is my solemn hope that with less bickering and word-twisting in Washington, there will be more problem-solving. We need to work together for […]

Peoria Journal Star Callahan, 57, said she would seek to change the health care system – specifically for the nearly 2 million uninsured in Illinois. She said current policies in the Middle East aren’t working and the U.S. cannot continue to spend money on “a war with no end.” Changes also should be made in […]
