They begged off for family reasons-both have young children and in this economy can't leave their jobs with graduate school loans to pay off and mortgages. <br /><br />Cross endorsing mark does not make him cool just as the christian right getting behind mccain or bush doesn't make them cool in my book. <br /><br />He has no record to show and I'm not a fan of far western suburban leaders after hastert. <br /><br />10 years ago I would have been a coulson fan, probably. I liked corinne wood a lot and Kathy Parker (who I'll admit is behind coulson) was another great leader. We have a serious woman issue in this party beyond the michelle bachmans and we need to show people we aren't just southern old white dudes.

My greatest fear is that with all the rancor against all the candidates who are out there we are going to give either of the Democrats an open door to take this seat from our side. I agree with your statements about Coulson having the highest name recognition and having survived some tough challenges in past cycles. That does count for something, especially out here. The 10th congressional district has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. I wish that some who post on this site would truly understand that proven fact. This is clearly a Democrat leaning district much more so than when Kirk was elected. That's not to say that we have to choose someone based solely on that fact, but one thing is certain: we will lose this seat and it will be gone forever if we continue to 'eat our own' without regard for the consequences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-20788522236853822102009-11-22T06:48:41.350-06:002009-11-22T06:48:41.350-06:00Probably time to let this thread drop.

Dold's got money and some endorsements - but this might not be an election for endorsements. Coulson is literally the only R with name recognition outside these insider circles. I could go on with the rest. I just hope this all settles out in Feb with us nominating someone who can develop some momentum in the general. It would truly be depressing to have any of the Dems take Mark's seat.<br /><br />If you want a lesson in how we Illinois repubs shoot ourselves in the foot year after year, all you have to do is read through this comments thread...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-64634693127415629932009-11-21T23:44:22.982-06:002009-11-21T23:44:22.982-06:00For those that have just joined the conversation t...For those that have just joined the conversation that baxters mom, team, king louis astaves the ellen slayer and I have been having since we used to rip apart catwoman's blog before she banned us, it has nothing to do with jews, we've defended caryn garber in the past and I am slightly to the right of ariel sharon when it comes to my zionism. I am a card carrying member of AIPAC. I eat lox 2 meals a day, and macaroons in the off season. I'm also the only person-even the state party who has called out julie hamos for her berkowitz interview where she shows that she would be hamas and iran's best friend in congress. <br /><br />Friedman is a nobody. Of course everyone in your living room says your resume is great and you look good on paper. Then you have to go out and do things like win endorsements, woo party leaders like team america and king louis, raise money to show you are viable and put out ideas.

Not one of her peeps has answered as to why the party has hired a democrat to run her campaign, one that lost in a democrat primary last year. <br /><br />4. Not one of her peeps has explained her backing from the unions who stand for everything we are against. <br /><br />5. She's from the hastert/brady (new addition for his weak showing this week)/mckenna/tom cross part of the party that is spineless, visionless and has lead us into the abyss. These people care nothing about conservative principles or our party. It's about them. NOT. <br /><br />It's about team, and baxters mom, and king louis, and mrs, team, and conservative veteran, mrs. eric elk and giving these fine folks a message and party they can take to their neighbors every year and say this is what we stand for, this is who stands for us, and this is why the next time we have this conversation in 2 years you're going to be able to say to me, you got it right brother, I like elephants in office. <br /><br />Coulson has not demonstrated that the last 13 years, we're not better off than we were before her and she's had ample time to prove us wrong. <br /><br />Dold and cadigan have both had shots as well to lead insurgencies against schoenberg, and hamos, and coulson (primarying her), and every other scumbag D.
