“The US does not lead morally or politically anymore. The world has no leadership. The United States was always the last resort and hope for all other nations.That was the hope, that whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today we lost that hope”

That said, I’m voting Hughes and Proft.

Did you know Proft was adopted? Could be one of the reasons for his strong support for school choice. He is very passionate that children shouldn’t be denied an education because of their zip code.

I think it is a little overstated to argue Proft has less chance than Andy. I believe the latest polling has them within the margin of error of one another.

On a related note, I am sad that Hughes has not hammered Kirk on Kirk’s support for partial birth abortion. In a republican primary that is a game changer, even among moderates. The vast majority oppose partial birth abortion. I know, personally, I will not vote for Kirk if he is the nominee on that issue alone. I have argued to liberal but Catholic friends to not vote rather than vote for a democrat who supports partial birth abortion (I know they would never vote Republican). I can’t, in good conscience, fail to follow my own advice and prefer to stand up for Christ than for RINOs.

The audit idea is 100 % doable and everyone on the campaign knows it. That is why so many of the other candidates have borrowed planks from our platform. The policies aren’t naive, they are what people need to hear. You can’t pass something until you actually run on it, and then act on it. If Brady had tried some of that in his 16 years in the State Gov,. he’d be Governor right now.

If you are from Illinois, and reading this, please don’t split your vote.

Bill Brady would be the nominee this year if he had dropped and allowed Oberweis to win. Instead, he is perceived to have stayed in so that Topikafava won. True or not, that is what a lot of Illinois conservatives think.

Proft is this year’s Brady. Watch the last days, look at momentum, and vote for the Conservative who can come in over the top.

That’s Adam Andrzejewski.

Unlock your position, watch, and you’ll see Adam as the best choice on election day.

Disclosure: I was compensated by Adam’s campaign through November.

Lastly, ignore all the blather about “experience” and “analysis”. Anyone who has done an ounce of “analysis” isn’t going to get a tax cut or an ephemeral “statutory spending freeze” past Speaker Madigan.

In a one on one debate, Proft is the better rhetorician, but Adam is running on far more robust policies.

I know that in my own state that the national image of some Republicans is false and that if people knew what the locals did they would think differently.

But what I would like to say is that I have watched these guys on TV before and Adam came across better. I saw Brady in action both in his last run for Governor and this one – and Adam seems like he is the stronger guy and more likely to put principle before self-interest. Brady seems too self-protective for my taste.

And as for Adam being the split off candidate – Brady polling 10% at best from what I seen. So considering Adam seems to have more wind at his back he could easily already be ahead of Brady in reality.

Lack of knowledge about local issues – boy I have heard that line from the establishment so many times.

I would suggest we back whomever would be the best leader most likely to put principles above self interest.

I respectly suggest that as the standard. Again, everyone within the state has advantage on me. I am only trying to make a suggestion on how best to evaluate the situtation.

I am also glad Eric is getting involved. I am for Rubio as well. But we need to focus on all the races not just Florida. Esp. since you can get ready for Crist to get out the primary any day now.

And what about Hughes for the Senate?

Thanks.
