Call It A Comeback
As Confirmed by the USPS over at Austin Mayor.
In other important Postal Deliveries, Lance took his fourth stage and I mean he took it. Too bad for Floyd, but that pretty much locks the race. He’s got 4 minutes on Basso and Basso isn’t a great time trialer which is the only stage likely to have any real racing amongst GC contenders.
I’ll do it tomorrow, but Dillard’s out. Berkowitz had the early scoop.
This may be turning into who will turn down the nomination next.
Just imagine how painful this has to be to Oberweis.
So, if those of you in Illinois are noticing a lack of political advertising, let me offer your choice of ads to air—and you can vote with your pocketbook to put them on the air. Jeff Smith is asking you to choose which ad you like, and then to donate to put it on the air. Jeff was within $4000 of the biggest take for the last quarter and is number one with cash on hand going into the last two weeks of the campaign. He hasn’t focused on TV, but this is a way to make it on TV and pay for it and choose an ad people actually like the most.
I’m leaning to Fire Bush, though High Energy probably captures the essence of my friend better.
That there can’t be a nominee for the Republicans until the first week in August if Dillard says no? Unless the GOP is going to try and announce while Barack is about to give the key note speech which would further consign the sacrificial lamb, errrr..I mean candidate to anonymity.
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.
To answer your question, Jack does not need the form Rich Miller sent over, but your concern is moving. Stay tuned.
There was some hubbub over at Kos yesterday about some media reports and the DCCC, today Jim Bonham addresses that—and does so very well.
I talk with some of the folks over there from time to time–as my cross posts there make obvious. Not a close relationship or anything where I get super secret information, but let me say, everyone I have talked there works hard to win Democratic seats. And they stay amazingly neutral in primaries when I’ve dealt with them. I’m involved deeply with Jeff Smith’s campaign for the Missouri 3rd. They have neither done anything to help or hurt any of those candidates, but I can guarantee that on August 4th, they’ll be committed to whomever the nominee is. They will have to make decisions regarding where resources will go and that is their job. That’s a tough job. Any of us might say we’d do it different, but trust me this isn’t a bunch of old guys sitting around in a backroom, these are people who work obsessively towards winning a Democratic Majority this fall in the House. Help ’em out.
The rumor I have a line on says that Bill Lipinski will be stepping down next week and bringing his son in to take his place. This was widely reported, but now it seems ready to go. The 19th is behind the switch.
Apparently Daley had a meeting with Lipinski and yelled at him that no one else in the damn delegation could get anything done and he wanted Lipinski to stay. His tantrum was to no avail.
The Leader has yet to issue a correction in regards to Jill Stanek’s claims that Jack Ryan’s custody file was sealed from the beginning. It was, in fact, not sealed for nearly a year.
The Leader is claiming it will sue to unseal John Kerry’s unsealed divorce records. Here at ArchPundit, I’m amused at how this will play out. We haven’t heard anything in three weeks on the impending lawsuit, but want to make sure no one forgets.
