This ad about says it all. I wonder how Alexi Giannoulias can possibly be the best the Illinois establishment has to run this election cycle. It’s kind of sad really.

Vote “NO” on Kirk Dillard
- Strange bedfellows.
In case you haven’t noticed, there are still six Republican candidates vying for governor of our fine State. Rather than endorse one candidate, I would rather- in this particular contest- give you food for thought in voting against one. That lucky guy is Kirk Dillard.

I had initially written off the primaries as an automatic lock for a Mark Kirk-Alexi Giannoulias battle. Would I prefer to have Kirk over Giannoulias? Absolutely.

He did so out of concern for the environment and the autistic school, Giant Steps of Illinois, located 120 yards to the east of the proposed site. Doesn’t it sound principled? Read more
