I’m playing a lot of catch-up due to my wife having the flu and my familial duties close to doubling over the last week. A week ago yesterday Republican Kevin Burns abruptly dropped out of the 14th Congressional Republican Primary. The reasons on the surface made sense - lack of fundraising success/money, not […]
In my first WurfWhile.com blog post in 2004 I looked at the “competitive advantage” that Republicans traditionally have over Democrats in governing:
“‘Conservatives’ tend to believe in little and slow change - people are best left alone, and government can do little to help them. This makes governing a lot easier. You don’t need to deliver […]
Ok, maybe a bit overstated, but a welcome change anyway. Welcome national Republican commentators….
Democratic Presidential Candidate Chris Dodd plans to make good on his promise to filibuster the Senate FISA renewal bill that provides retroactive immunity to telecommunication companies that may have illegally allowed the Bush Administration to spy on Americans. Dodd has called out three Senators running for president, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, […]
Democrat Bill Foster received the Service Employees International Union Illinois Council (SEIU) endorsement yesterday. It’s Foster’s second big union endorsement (AFSCME also endorsed Bill) and strikes a real blow to Democrat John Laesch’s campaign, which recently gained the AFL-CIO endorsement. John used to work as an Illinois SEIU employee helping with their […]
WGN Radio is reporting that outgoing Congressman Dennis Hastert will endorse Republican Jim Oberweis in the 14th Congressional District race. That may explain (or alternatively, may have been caused by) Republican Chris Lauzen’s less than complimentary preemptive strike regarding a Hastert endorsement.
Jim Oberweis can only hope the Congressman Dennis Hastert finds a way to […]
Democrat Bill Foster’s campaign has raised more money from donors (not including candidate self-funding) than any other Democrat or Republican in the 14th Congressional race. He totally dominated the 3rd quarter for small dollar donations (under $200) collecting more than all other Democratic candidates combined and almost as much as all Democratic and Republican […]
The Naperville Sun reported Friday that Republican Darlene Senger’s campaign dropped objections to Republican Michael Bowler’s petition signatures - which will result in a GOP primary between the two candidates for the 96th Illinois State House seat.
The Darlene Senger campaign had also challenged Republican Mike Wisniewski’s petitions and he subsequently withdrew from the race citing […]
Seriously. It really boggles the mind.
I, like others believe that Mike Huckabee might pull it off and become the Republican nominee. But you read about Huckabee’s Wayne Dumond problem and Huckabee’s lack of attention to what’s happening with Iran, and it gets harder to imagine Huckabee pulling it off, even in the fantasy […]
From the Bill Foster Campaign:
“Today the campaign of Bill Foster for Congress announced its 3rd major endorsement this week with the backing of Illinois Planned Parenthood Council capping off a major shift in the race to replace former Speaker Dennis J. Hastert.
‘Planned Parenthood is proud to endorse Bill Foster for Congress in the 14th District,’ […]
