Polls Close in Illinois/Open Thread (Update: Mark Kirk Wins GOP Senate Primary) (Update #2: Giannoulias Wins) (Update #5: Recount?)
The voting has concluded in the Illinois Senate and Gubernatorial primaries. We'll update when the victors are announced. In other news,
-CNN reports that "[s]ales from [News Corp.]'s book publisher HarperCollins rose 25%, and operating profits almost tripled, due to strong sales that included Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue."
-Missouri Congressman and the Senate candidate for the GOP Roy Blunt tweets that "[w]e are very pleased to have the support of @SarahPalinUSA and welcome her help in any way in our campaign."
-Sean Linnane from the FrumForum (not a misprint) writes that "[t]he popular conservative movement we are currently witnessing via the tea parties, the Sarah Palin booksigning rallies, the election results in Massachusetts, the overwhelming popularity of conservative talk show hosts etc – is not angry."
-Amy Siskind, a friend of this blog, writes an article titled "Sarah Palin and the 'Abortion Bowl'" for More magazine. I don't agree with her argument but it's worth a read.
-Rasmussen finds in "[t]he latest Rasmussen Reports survey of likely Republican Primary voters in Texas... Perry lead[s] Hutchison 44% to 29%, with Medina at 16."
-McCain leads by 29 according to his pollster or 16 according to Hayworth's pollster.

How did common sense slip past Frum?
I admit I am not an expert on the budget but when Rush says that this current proposed budget by Obama could literally break the bank, I have to ask myself about the Democratic folks in Congress, don't they know this as well? How could they allow a budget like this to be passed on their watch? With Obama and his czars, it's understandable why they want it passed. They're all Marxists and want to destroy the American economy and take the American way of life with it. But not all Democratic Congressmen and Senators are Marxists, are they?
Now as the RINO's in Congress, Rush asks them why they don't develop a backbone and resolve to fight tooth and nail to see that this budget is not passed. Are the RINO's also so stupid not to believe that this budget will destroy the country?
AGIA Update:
"Gov. Sean Parnell expresses optimism about the gas pipeline project, saying the state is in a "HISTORIC PLACE" in which it is moving closer to a gas pipeline than ever before." [emphasis added] -H/T Ivy
http://www.adn.com/legislature/story/1120284.html
The pipeline is the one thing that Obama has not touched yet but it would not surprise me in the least if government lawyers right now are working on a scheme to stop its construction or to take over the complete project.
Gee everybody seems talked out now, that makes me sad! :( How can we get things going again?
I think there's some collusion going on.
The strategy of the MSM and the right-wing blogs ignoring Sarah hasn't been working very well either. Sarah is using 2010 technology to the max and really the only way that Obama can stop her is to shut down the whole damn Internet, which I don't think even he could get away with.
They are, does the name Larry Persily mean anything to you?
With the schedule that Sarah has not set for herself I think the "quitting meme" will eventually go by the board as the SNL stupid narrative already has.
They don't think there is anything really at stake, yes it's like a tennis match you win, you lose some, wherea it's more like the Texas holdem (baccarat in the book) of Casino Royale
Whitney
Who was that candidate for Governor that you said you were supporting?
Well Illinois bucks the trend and goes for true RINOs. Kirk is the endorsed candidate of the kill babies for profit community. McKenna was a huge donor to Richard Durbin and Barack Obama.
Where the hell is everybody? It's dead in here tonight.
Well that sucks. My deepest sympathies. Thank God we have John Kasich here in Ohio running for Governor, along with Rob Portman for Senate.
I'm here. The party can begin now. :)
LOL, comments started pouring in the second after I posted that.
I think everybody is talked out after the troll, who wasn't banned for some reason.
Haha
Get a load of Reid's response to Sarah about her leading the Tea Party Express in his home town of Searchlight Nevada.
Reid responded to Palin in a statement to The Post: "Make sure you stop by the Nugget for a ten-cent cup of coffee with free refills -- and make sure to say 'Hi' to Verlie."

This thing just keeps getting better and better.

I don't know what it is. It's slow everywhere. FR, AoS, and Twitter are all slow today.
So... I've not been around much lately... remodeling the kitchen... putting the house on the market... working... getting ready for the big move....
what C4P happenings have I been missing???
Thank God for blackberries and C4P tweets and facebook bomb alerts or I'd be totally out of the loop!
"<span>The group will invite Emanuel to take the R-word pledge at www.r-word.org and to join in the March 3, 2010 Spread the Word to End the Word campaign, as well as invite him to be a leader of change surrounding the pervasive and damaging use of the R-word. "</span>
That is truly a beautiful thing... and I think he will hate every minute of it.
I'm surprised Dingy Harry could be so decent, if I recall he called her RNC Convention speech "shrill."
If Emmaunel is unhappy, I am happy.
I'm shocked!
Hey, it's marmot day. I'll bet everyone is passed out drunk.
I took my wife out today instead on Saint Valentine's Day. She said that I am a shadow of my former self so this is the day to celebrate.
We are mad as he$$ with this stupid spending garbage, we are reloading Patrick.....
Sarah 2012!
Palin's up on the drudge twice... once for her fb bomb about Rahm
and again for her oped about the tea parties... good to see her out there getting her views out.
Hmmm...things seem to be slowing down again.
Wonder if Sarah will do a Facebook about Oblamo's Organizing for America trying to brainwash kids in school........it needs to get more national attention. Also the Unsafe "Safe-School Czar".
I bet Beehive is wondering why I'm not hitting the sauce...because I have classes tomorrow that's why!
Emanuel should send $25,000 donation to the Special Olympics..lets see how much is that per letter of the words that he used.......??
Sarah 2012!
well... i stop back later... let me know before the fun stuff happens :)
I agree Ceejay, I think it's time for massive income redistrubution from Rahm's checking account to the Special Olympics.
Since things are so slow tonight:
I would rather have both my feet amputated than attend an Obama town hall event.
Well it's official, Kirk took the primary. May God have mercy upon all here who are residents of Illinois.
I would rather have a hole drilled into my abdomen and a colony of fireants shoved into it than vote for Mark Kirk.
It is elections like that which validate VanderLeun's contention that 'Republicans thirst for death'
Andrzejewski.
At least he received no support from Sarah.
Mark Kirk has the best chance to win in the GE so I am happy he won.
Grrr.....stinkin' Kirk got the nomination. I love Illinois, but we can vote to save our lives. Example #11238729847289
Mark Kirk isn't really any better than a democrat. He may be fiscally conservative sometimes, but he's a flip flopper. We won't know what we'll get with him. Yes, he'll probably win the general election though.
Seriously Whitney, is the majority of Illinois residents suffering from Stockhold Syndrome?
Gubernatorial is still pretty close though....we'll see.
<span>Seriously Whitney, is the majority of Illinois residents suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?</span>
I would rather stick my hand in liquid nitrogen than vote for Mark Kirk.
Hang in there Whit. If Sarah endorses him it will be for the political reasons I have discussed in other strings. Hopefully she sits this one out but we will see.
It sounds like FR founder/owner JimRob will be at the Searchlight Tea Party:
Woo hoo!! You betcha!! See you there!!

It doesn't help that we have an inept GOP who props up moderate candidates. I think though that a lot of people haven't taken the time to evaluate the candidates for themselves, having a primary so early doesn't help. Partly is that a lot of people aren't super conservative, so they probably feel that Kirk is an OK candidate, or they just vote for the "R" with the most name recognition or who have the most "experience". He is the only candidate who was in Congress. The other two "top" candidates--one is a lawyer without political experience and one is a former judge, but he's from "downstate" so he wouldn't have a lot of name recognition.
I really hope it stays that way.
I know, PEC. I just don't see her doing it.
I am on a live town hall meeting with Meg Whitman...(phone)
Looks like we have another Snowe/Collins type. I suppose it's better than a Dem, but not by much.
Give her hell for us Mia!
Sorry Whitney I noticed a spelling error in my question and deleted it. Instead of repyling to you I noticed that you had said two more things so I decided it would be best to post it below your three comments.
Lipstick,
I started half marathon training this week. I'll start posting times once they aren't pathetic.
BOOOOOOOO! This is one vote I can't wait to cast .... against her!
Geezzz...Do you think she called me because of my comments on C4P?? ;)
Oh, Bill Brady is leading the gubernatorial race at the moment! He's actually pretty good.
It's interesting to see that liberals were calling for Rahm to step down before Sarah caught him making another stupid comment. I'm guessing she knew this when she specifically called for his resignation instead of asking for an apology.
http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/politics/2010/2/2/sarah_palin_and_liberals_agree_they.htm
I know this hasn't got much discussion on C4P but why isn't there more coverage on the right wing blogs on the implications of the John Edward's scandal to the Obama-Clinton race and how the MSM hid the facts that could have changed the dynamics of the election and elected Hillary Clinton.
Lipstick
Do you right that running schedule down to keep track of it? I am lost. hehe
Well her faith and her family keep her grounded, in common sense conservatism. If you have to spend too many words explaining something, you're probably doing it wrong (ie; the 2,000 health care bill)
Bring companies back to CA....Nuclear Power Plants...Turn on the Water...
Grade our school system...
Ask her if she has been to any of the Pizza parties with the boys.
techno: you know why . . . <span> </span>
LOL!
i have thought the same thing!
Build a fence between Mexico & CA.
Well, Mitt needs somewhere to sit right?
Prop 8...will probably go to Supreme Court...Great!
They just always have to get that little dig in there, don't they? ($100,000 speaking fee mention) - hmmm, oh the one that's being donated back to the cause. I get so sick of their tactics. You can see right through them. What children they all are.
I voted for Hughes and An-G-F-Ski lol....both lost. Oh well, at least kirk is better than the illinois dems.
Ask her about her fine little buddy Van Jones the commie.
Funny...
Yeah, I did the same, Dan. Bill Brady is currently leading the gubernatorial race. He's second best to Adam.
question...Why won't you debate Steve...I thought it was important to see all of CA. first...I plan to debate him on March 15...uh-oh..
He's not bad. Conservative downstate state senator. Not any political baggage. He and Andrzejewski are the only ones without baggage. He's a business guy.
http://bradyforillinois.com/
Solid downstate conservative, pro-life.
Blood in the water. I think it's personal with Sarah when it comes to the Emmanuel brothers. Rahm's been sending his thugs to knee-cap her and his Dr. Mengela brother has kids like Trig in his sights with his Death Panels. That effects her more than we even know I think.
The Cuda wants Rahm's head on her wall--The Wasilla Way!
The MSM had their motive. But I'm not so sure if Edwards had dropped out of the race it would necessarily have helped Hillary. Many of Edwards' voters would have gone over to the Obama camp. However, Edwards' presence helped Obama in that Obama let Edwards be the attack dog against Hillary, while Obama stayed above the fray for the most part. Had Edwards not been in the race, Obama would have had to do the dirty work himself.
Meg Whitman’s Slap In The Face Of Sarah Palin Fans: Hiring Mike Murphy
<span> </span>
"After John McCain went down in flames, his staffers went on the warpath. Not against him, for blowing it in the home stretch of the campaign. Not against the media, for abandoning the man who used to be their favorite Republican. Not even against Barack Obama.
No, John McCain's staffers ran to the press and savaged Sarah Palin at every opportunity. Why? To shift the blame away from moderates, who abandoned a moderate candidate, and in an effort to toady to the Left by trashing the brightest spot in the entire McCain campaign.
Now, one the worst of McCain's staffers was Mike Murphy, who ripped on Sarah Palin like it was his new job. Where was the loyalty to the campaign? Where was the respect for all the conservatives that thought choosing Sarah Palin was the best move McCain made in the entire campaign?
Here are just some of the things Mike Murphy said about Sarah Palin on the record.
Mike Murphy referred to the decision to pick Palin as"cynical" and "gimmicky."Gov. Sarah Palin is the political train wreck that keeps on giving. First, she was an awful choice last year as John McCain's running mate. -- Mike MurphyYeah. No, no, look, she has a constituency. She'll never be the nominee, I totally agree with David. I agree with Steve Schmidt, it would be actually a disaster if she was the nominee. I do wish my friend Steve felt that a year ago when a lot of people were asking John McCain to put her on the ticket. -- Mike MurphyNow staffers are, by their very nature, interchangeable. Yes, you try to get the best people you can, but there are 50 people who can do any staffer job.
So when Meg Whitman, who's running for governor, chose to hire Mike Murphy, what does it say?
It says that she holds Sarah Palin's many fans in the Republican Party in absolute contempt. She thinks so little of them and feels their support is so unwanted for her campaign, that she's going to hire a guy like Mike Murphy, who made more of a name for himself trashing Sarah Palin than he did working for the McCain campaign.
Well, here's what I say: Any candidate who hires Mike Murphy, Steve Schmidt, or Nicolle Wallace -- the McCain staffers who trashed Palin -- that candidate is dead to me. I don't care what his record is, I don't care what he says, and I don't care how important the race is -- if he wants a kind word on RWN, then he can buy an ad. I'm so tired of these Republicans who have contempt for the "little" people who put them in office and nothing says "I don't respect the base" like hiring staffers who have been all over the news trashing a popular conservative for no good reason. So, as far as I'm concerned, as long as Mike Murphy is on Whitman's staff, I'll support anybody but Whitman for governor."

Oh boy... here we go...We need to bring back Commonsense to CA.
I want to put a moratorium on all Bills...
Gang,
Tonight's apparent victory by Brady is great news for Palin. A strong social conservative relied on the downstate Illinois vote to win a primary. The establishment/moderate vote was completely split.
If you add Brady's totals to Adam and Proft's total, you get around 43% of the conservative/very conservative vote being split and Brady still winning (at the moment that is)
I initially was going for Brady until I heard about Andrzejewski about 6 weeks ago.
I hope she does not support him either, Whitney. It will make me upset if she endorses him. Just ignore him, Sarah, and focus on other races. Kirk is no good.
Spoke too soon...Dillard took the lead.
My point remains though...a rural, pro-lifer winning or almost winning on solely the downstate vote. It's good news for Palin in the Illinois primary and she'd do better than Brady in the non-downstate areas.
uh oh. Dillard (Obama supporter) is ahead now.
I don't understand why she didn't get on this in August when he first made the statement.
Oh my. LOL!!!
I really, really dislike Kirk. He is very liberal on social issues and sketchy on fiscal issues. He is the wrong path for the GOP.
Ha. Well, a non-Chicago guy. Bloomington isn't exactly rural.
When I was CEO of e-bay...several Governor's called me monthly to relocate...I plan to call companies too...to relocate to CA.
Oh Momma Mia. I am so sorry. How much longer is this townhall?
Good job on the Banner art for C4P - that's fun! They're such cute little guys! It was a busy day...I quick went through some of the comments, and now it's time for bed.
Not to sound uncompassionate, but Dillard's dad passed away over the weekend. I hope that sympathy didn't play into people voting. Not that I don't offer my sympathies to him and his family.
I think they are blocking my question...hehehe..
What would you rather do than vote for him?
The percentage is still the same, but the overall vote difference is increasing for Dillard. Darn it.
Night Chillin!
What are you going to ask?
Well Tommy, you were right......
Kirk won...congrats I guess. Still will not get my vote.
Terrible.....population of Illinois is 13 million....look how many turned out to vote....not even a million. Shame on them.
I never thought Kirk would win by such a margin....thought it would much closer.
He had to win by name recognition only. The guy never showed up to any debates or anything.
Adam A...same thing....thought he would do much better. He turned out to be only a "spoiler" (as I heard one news guy say). What a shame.
Pretty disappointed**sigh**.
Whit....tell me again why we stay here????
Mike Murphy is the biggest douchebag ever.
Happy Armadillo Day Lipstick.
All Done!!!....
No kidding...and how the heck does McKenna still stay in this race????
I'd rather be handcuffed to Levi Johnston for 6 months than vote for Kirk.
I will not vote for him.
As someone near and dear once said...."principle over party", and like her I want to sleep well at nite.
Who knows? We're waiting for our next Reagan to be born here or Lincoln to be an elected here. Sigh. At least will hear one speak in 2+ months! :)
<span>
<p>We know the excitement Adam brings, but Brady, if not exciting, would be acceptable. What I remember from him is that he sponsored that resolution a while back calling on Illinois to proclaim its 10th amendment rights.
</p></span>
I don't know. Maybe people liked his stupid ads with Blago's hair on the capital building.
He is very disingenuous, trying to run as an "outsider" when he resigned as GOP chair to run for governor.
I agree, Whit. What disappoints me most is the lack of turnout from our state. As critical a time as we are in, I hoped there would be more passion...
I wish Mark was here to accept his award.
HOld off on the obituary....Brady has a lot of vote left in the downstate/rural areas.
Brady's within 700 now with 5% to go...
Yeah, I've heard at most, turnout was 25%. Very poor.
Maybe Brady can pull it out, second best choice overall in my book. It's very close.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/elections/results/illinois/statewide/index.html
I was wondering what precincts they still were counting. If it's downstate, that's a good sign.
Hey Bee...you here?
Good link, better than WICS's - thanks. I was hearing the turnout in the county was about 17%. That's less than the turnout last time after the tornado and all.
Did this site get hacked? The front pages has gophers on the upper right corner.
Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party...'nuff said.
Hmmm...looking on the other side, would a lame duck democrat governor be something to be wary of or something to be relieved by?
Wow, that's a very poor turnout. I've only lived in Springfield for a 2.5 years, but I've heard that the primary turnout is bad because state workers don't want to declare a party as they fear it may affect their job.
I really hope any Illinios voters PLEASE vote for Kirk in november, even if you have to hold your nose and do it.
Alex G. has so many ties to disgusting mob-bank crap. Check out hillaryis44.org for the details.
PLEASE do not stay home, vote for Kirk, I know Mark Kirk is not very conservative, but at least he is not connected to the mob like Alex G.
PLEASE do not take the purist conservative road and not vote for Kirk, heck even as a democrat, he's too liberal for me, but the Alex G. man is not someone who should be anywhere near the US Senate, especially with all his mob ties thru his fmaily bank.
--just a concerned American voter and Palin supporter.
Lipstick,
Don't tempt me!
yeah
Those are Marmots. They celebrate Marmot Day today in Alaska! :)
Has Cruela been around?
LT,
Who knows. I've lived here all my life and still can't figure out Illinois politics.
I thought it would be a very close race for the senate seat, so don't ask me.
So much for all this talk about the people being angry and wanting to "throw the bums out".
Haven't seen her. What's up?
Hmm. I think that Quinn would be a better opponent as there is the early prison release and his not particularly strong go as a governor this past year. I appreciate that he always tries to go to as many fallen soldiers' funerals as possible, but he doesn't have particularly good admininstrative skills. I think the GOP can use that against him.
Brady's up again by 1000+votes!
Crew was having major pain in her ankle...Not Good...
Considering the opposition, I very well may. If there is a viable 3rd party candidate that could possibly be more than a spoiler, I would probably go that rout. Regardless, it will not be pretty. There will be bloodletting in the state GOP. I don't consider myself a member of that party, or any party anymore. I do know that Kirk is absolutely reviled by the conservative grassroots folks, and many are absolutely determined to go with a write-in rather than vote for him.
Hey Nancy...You here?
What? Did she get in to get it looked at? Dang....I didn't know that.
LT,
What do you know about Eric Wallace? He decided not to throw his hat in the ring, but seemed to be potentially open to an independent run. I haven't heard anything recently though.
I've been over on my local Wichita paper defending Sarah from the moonbats and RINOs who don't want her to set foot in our city! I'm Mother of Three. Help me out :-)
http://www.kansas.com/news/breaking/story/1163229.html?mi_pluck_action=comment_submitted&qwxq=104835#Comments_Container
Yeah Right...You know her...She has her Rules!!...
Excellent point - that is most definitely a factor.
Brady +2000 at 97%...
yes, I don't think people understand just how bad Alex G will be. I really urge every IL voter on this board to check out Hillaryis44.org, they have done a tremendous amount of research on this Alex G.
No one connected to the mob needs to be setting a foot in the US Senate.
I really don't understand this purist attitude, yes, Mark Kirk is not conservative, even as a democrat/Independent I completely agree.
But do these purist conservatives want a mob-related man in the US senate for 6 years? I mean really?!?!?!
Geez...
What did she do to it?
She had surgery...I don't know when...but assume a while back...She told me... she will not do it again... no matter what...Worried...
Hey RD, nice of you to drop by.
Granny!!!!!
Listening to a local radio station saying they interviewed Brady a few years back as he was trying to get prayer reinstated in schools. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a conservative.
Same ankle?...
yes...
There is hope for Illinois after all. This reminds me of Ohio's state motto: With God all things are possible.
Our state motto: State sovereignty, national union.
I don't know how many of our politicians know we have a 10th amendment.
Brady also introduced a state's rights resolution for Illinois (Dillard co-sponsored):
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=0181&GAID=10&GA=96&DocTypeID=SR&LegID=47611&SessionID=76
<span><span>Synopsis As Introduced</span>
<span>Urges the President of the United States, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States, and the legislative leaders of each State's legislature in the United States to cease and desist, effective immediately, any and all mandates that are beyond the scope of their constitutionally delegated power.</span></span>
Ummmm.....2?
That's not good. Does she have pins and plates?
This probably won't surprise any of you, but the ACLU has tried I don't know how many times to remove our state motto.
She generalized...I think she used the term..wired...
I hope I'm not speaking to soon, but it's looking good for Brady!
<span>I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but it's looking good for Brady!</span>
Yeah, I remember him. However, as soon as I became aware of him, he dropped out and I don't know why. It was a shame. He did seem really independent minded.
shhhh!!! :-)
She better get in there and let them take a look....
Geesh...
That'a great news! I won't be able to watch while it's live. At best I can read ya'll reax. Gracias, Fox!
Interesting article about Rahm Emmanuel: http://freedomist.com/2010/02/03/rahm-emanuel/
Thanks, I was over here: http://www.kansas.com/news/breaking/story/1163229.html?mi_pluck_action=comment_submitted&qwxq=104835#Comments_Container
You are so lucky RD that you get to see her twice in the next three months. I am super jealous, I only get to see her once in March.
Re: Texas GOP Primary
Ugh, I'm struggling here. I intended to vote for Perry, but I kind of like Medina now, especially after hearing a couple of interviews and her debate performances. Crap! Maybe I can vote for her in the primary on principle knowing full well that Perry will end up winning then vote for him in the general. Medina seems to be bleeding more votes from Hutchison than Perry. Truthfully, the governorship in Texas is so weak whomever is in office has absolutely no effect on my daily life. Most politicos here don't and most of the time I don't recognize them. I once walked right in front of the Dallas mayor as he was giving an interview at the Texas State Fair. It was a dick thing to do to anyone but I had no idea he was the mayor. I think I apologized by I may have been too busy eating whatever fried heart attack on a stick I had in my hand. I also may have been tipsy. Mmm, I love Shiner Bock.
Anyway, it's sad but I think Palin's support of Perry is the tie breaker for me. I'm confident he'll win the primary and I'll definitely vote for him in the general. I just may vote for Medina in the primary. Damn choices.
She just loaned her campaign $20 million dollars......She has already spent 13 million
The local radio commentator said that if the current leaders win their primaries, the gubernatorial general election matchup would be "Brady Quinn". Any Notre Dame fans out there? LOL
By sad I mean i'm not really voting on something I like about Perry, but that Palin likes him so he's okay by me. That's how highly I view her endorsement of him.
Also called Brady a "God and guns" kind of candidate. I think this commentator (who is liberal) was being a bit derisive, but I think its a compliment.
If you read the report..it wast made public until last week
Bedtime for me. Night everyone, God bless you all.
Uh, oh...reports of uncounted absentee and early votes in Lake County. They are suggesting a 900 vote pickup for Dillard, which would put us into recount territory. Buckle up for the ride.
Do you think Perry has done a good job in TX? Is Texas doing well? Prospering? Have your taxes (excluding Federal) remained stable? Yes, I thought so. Perry has done an outstanding job steering the ship of our state.
If you live in Texas, you already know that.
An easy way to decide - Look at what they have done, NOT what they say they are going to do. Track records matter. The 2008 Presidential Election proved that.
I am very happy with our Governor and am actively campaigning for him. I will not campaign for either of the other 2 candidates should one of them win the primary.
It would have changed Iowa. We all know wthout Iowa, Hillary would have been the candidate of the Democrat Party.
Yes, vote for Medina and you will get Governor White from Houston.
Is Lake County the place where all the cheating during the Dem 2008 primary took place?
Hmmm, I don't know about that!
Nah, I'm entirely confident that Perry will win both the Primary and the General. I guess it's about wanting to have my cake and eat it too. I'm really digging this Medina chick. Look, basically, Perry hasn't done anything to piss me off and I'm no fan of KBH. She's fine in the Senate. There was no need for her to come back here and make a run for the Gov. Plus, I don't recall her being too fond of Palin.
*sigh*
I still have til March 2 to decide.
Was this it?
