Video: Dr. Arie Friedman

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/08/10

Here is a great interview with Dr. Arie Friedman who ran in the 10th District, but didn't win. Still, he is an impressive candidate and I hope he tries again soon. This is a candidate we have to keep our eyes on. www.Friedman2010.com read more »

No One Gains Full Confidence in Top of Ticket Races

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/08/10

Kurt Erickson has some interesting points in his article in the Decatur Herald-Review. His summation of the elections for the top spot for both the Democrats and Republicans is that no one wowed the voters and neither party saw their top guy getting the full confidence of the people. Erickson seems to be leaning toward thinking Brady is the better choice for the GOP, though I think Brady will find that he can't get many votes in Chicago and... read more »

Dems Troubled Lt. Gov Candidate Drops Out

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/07/10

Well, the Democratic nominee for Illinois Lt. Gov., Scott Lee Cohen, has announced that he's dropping out of the race even though he was the legal winner of the Democrat primary. He told waiting reporters that he was quitting for the good of the state. "For the good of the people of the state of Illinois and for the Democratic party, I will resign," he said at a presser tonight. Of course, the big question is who will take his place?... read more »

Chicago's Mayor Daley Says Scott Lee Cohen Earned His Election

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/07/10

The controversy over the election that put Scott Lee Cohen on the upcoming ballot as the Democrat's Lt. Governor nominee is still roiling. Cohen has yet to step down bowing to calls for his head from every Illinois Democrat. Well, almost all of them, anyway. It seems that Chicago's Mayor Richie "King" Daley is not one of those joining the chorus demanding that Cohen step down. Cohen plans to speak tonight and rumors are he will step down, but... read more »

State GOP Thanks Candidates

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/07/10

Illinois GOP thanks all statewide Republican candidates The Illinois Republican Party's Unity Breakfast was a great success and we appreciate everyone's participation and efforts. The large attendance alone shows our energy and that we are ready for the challenges of the 2010 election cycle. We must unite behind all of our Republican nominees and stand proud on our Republican values and principles. Together, we will be victorious in... read more »

Scott Lee Cohen: Case in Point How Chicago Media Covers for Criminal Democrats

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/06/10

Well, the Chicago controlled Illinois media has done it again. It's allowed another unsavory Democrat candidate with criminal propensities to slide by unnoticed and to be placed before the voters un-exposed as the low-end sort of fellow he is. And, just like clockwork, this drug addled nut has been elevated to nominee by the Democrat sheeple of the Land of Lincoln -- proving that Democrats will vote for a ham sandwich if one is put before them.... read more »

Dems Lt. Gov. Candidate and His... uh... Peccadilloes

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/05/10

I just can't get excited about Scott Lee Cohen, the wacky Lt. Gov. that the Democrats have chosen to represent them in November. Sure he's the Jerry Springer candidate, sure he's violent, roided up, and sort of scummy. But, he's upfront about it all, he's honest about his general scumminess. And he DID win the election. In the Chicago Sun-Times Sneed had a few tidbits I'll repost here to give you a general idea of where this guy fits on the... read more »

Statement From Kirk Dillard: Count ALL The Ballots

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/05/10

Still on pins and needles, Dillard is holding out for all absentee ballots and all mail ins to be counted... Republican candidate for Illinois Governor Kirk Dillard today said at a press conference in Chicago that the ballot counting process in the GOP Primary... read more »

Remember What We're Fighting: Alexi Giannoulias and His Mob Ties

By Warner Todd Huston | 02/04/10

OK, folks, Mark Kirk is now the GOP candidate for Senate in the Land of Lincoln. Now is the time to remind everyone what we are facing, why we are fighting the corruption of Democrats, now is the time to focus on what is at stake... Alexi Giannoulias, banker to the mob, from a family as corrupt as any Daley/George Ryan/Michael Madigan ever was. THIS is what awaits us if we Republicans do not vote for Mark Kirk. Yes, Kirk is only... read more »
