    Another tea party victory ?
    The Tea Party movement may chalk up another victory today in the President's home state . Adam Andrzejewski running in the 7 candidate Republican primary for Governor of Illinois .He is poised to upset Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.);who's fortunes began to take a nose dive when he voted for Cap and Trade in the House,and other greater known career politicians like state Sen. Kirk Dillard (who appeared in an Obama campaign add 2008)and former state GOP chairman Andy McKenna. He says his opponents are splitting the business-as-usual vote. McKenna is said to have spent $2million of his families fortune on the race.

    Andrzejewski was helped when Lech Walesa came to town and campaigned for him. But the biggest boost he has had is his being identified with the Tea Party movement .

    Best moment in this campaign so far was the debate that became a 6 candidate pile-on . One of the candidates said (when Adam demanded "transparancy" )that he just must not know what’s going on... that’s why he wants transparency. Well yeah !

    Yeah, and did you know Chicago local TV didn't even mention Walesa's visit?

    And get this, in Arkansas,"Sen. Blanche Lincoln would lose in a landslide, according to the latest polling from Public Policy.

    The poll shows 33% of voters would pick the Arkansas Democrat, while 56% would vote for Republican Rep. John Boozman."


    Boozman hasn't even officially announced his campaign.

    Mark Kirk won the primary .

    His Dem opponent will be Alexi Giannoulias who's family ties to the mob was exposed in the Dem primaries.Oh yeah... he is also deep in graft with the likes of Tony Rezko.

    Kirk however is a RINO long history of voting in favor of left liberal issues .I thought his vote in favor of Cap and Trade would do him in . But it appears that the Cook County machine decides the day.
    The only question in this election will be if the machine considers Giannoulias damaged goods.
