After the WEEK-TV/Pantagraph poll, it appears another poll confirms the deficit that Bush is facing in Illinois with a Daily Southtown poll putting Kerry at 52, Bush at 39.
A couple things–Karl Rove’s historic reallignment doesn’t seem to be working. Sorry Karl. You might win this election, but you aren’t going to create a long lasting legacy.
Jack Ryan needs to take down all of his Bush references and run away as fast as possible from the man.
The Illinois Center Right Coalition will eventually learn that subtracting moderate Republicans doesn’t put you on the road to victory–it puts you on the road to marginalization. Grover is a bit too cocky for his own good. Illinois will be one of those places where he puts movement conservatives into a minority position for a long time. Movement conservatives will soon purify the Republican Party all the while they lose any chance at power. For humors sake we can only hope they get Patrick O’Malley into the Governor’s race next time.
