Since Barack Obama is already the Democratic nominee in all but name, the real news last night is that the GOP Presidential nominee John McCain still has Republican primary voters voting against him even though he’s running uncontested and already has more than enough delegates to win the nomination officially. I’ve discussed the prior […]
It is a political campaign maxim, particularly for non-incumbents, that campaigns must jealously focus on their own race to win - and that any ‘distraction’ from their campaign comes at great or even unbearable cost. While examples may exist, how often have you heard of an underdog congressional campaign taking their volunteers to canvass […]
The Democratic Party of DuPage County will hold a fundraiser at Klein Creek Golf Club in Winfield. More details to come. Save the date.
Jill Morgenthaler’s Congressional Campaign in IL-06 has started to pick up momentum with additions/changes in staff, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) designation as a “targeted district” and a solid, if still needing to be ramped up, first full fundraising quarter quarter of over $200,000.

Democratic Candidate Tony Michelassi got picked up by the Lisle Sun in a profile here - and Progress Illinois picked it up here. I met Tony a while ago (he was then with Ruben Zamora’s 14th Congressional District campaign) - and he is certainly enthusiastic. You can check out Tony’s campaign blog here.
Forget about “straight-talk” when it comes to GOP Presidential nominee John McCain the standard is ‘don’t take his word for it, take ours’ according to the Republican National Committee (RNC), which is protesting the use of John McCain’s own words for a TV ad that describes John McCain’s objectionable policy position in Iraq.

[OneMan provides a correction - it was the local GOP Party’s elephant, not Alan Keyes’ elephant.]
John Nichols reports about it here.
What I remember most of Alan Keyes’ 2004 GOP Senate bid against Barack Obama was that Keyes came to Naperville with a giant elephant float. The float got stuck within the first quarter mile […]
On Tuesday more than 27% of Pennsylvania GOP Primary voters cast a vote against their Republican Presidential nominee John McCain. Pennsylvanians are not alone in rejecting John McCain.
