Well as if you did not have enough reasons to pick Congressmen Manzullo over Congressmen Kinzinger, here is another one. Adam Kinzinger does not even live in the 16th Congressional District! I know, I know, I know, the Kinzinger campaign will come back with “Joe Walsh does not live in the 8th Congressional District but he is running for re-election.” The reason for that is simple he did not want to take on a fellow CONSERVATIVE Republican. Congressmen Walsh would rather take on the Chicago machine than go against Randy Hultgren. You might ask yourself why didn’t Kinzinger run against the winner of the ultra-liberal Jesse Jackson Jr and the ultra-liberal Debbie Halvorson (who he beat in 2010) in the 2nd Congressional District? Well your guess is as good as ours! Below I have posted a map of what towns Manzullo and Kinzinger live in, in regards to the new district.

A recent poll by Siena College in New York on Feb. 1st tells us one of two things about voters in New York. New Yorkers are either haters or liars. The poll is a little weak on data, but what it does offer is very questionable. Lets start with the top line GOP primary vote:
- Mitt – 31%
- Newt – 29%
- Paul – 19%
- Santorum -13%
Those number are nothing out of the usual as far as the North-East is concerned, but we expect to see Newt Gingrich’s numbers drop and Rick Santorum’s to rise.

Public Policy Polling did a poll in Ohio last week, and from what we can see, Ohio is going to be dirty. Lets cut the fluff and get to the meat and potato, or as I prefer the meat and meat.
- Newt – 26%
- Mitt – 25%
- Santorum – 22%
- Paul – 11%
Four-percent separates first and third with a margin of error of 3.9%, statically this is a 3 way tie. Like with our post on Missouri the two man race question is a blow to Newt Gingrich’s theory that Rick Santorum dropping out will help him.

In keeping with the theme of this years Republican Nomination, new polls today from PPP shows two different leaders in Colorado and Minnesota. So far this year we have had three primaries and two caucuses with three different winners, and the trend of splitting delegates does not look like it’s going to change anytime soon.
On Tuesday, 76 delegates are up for grabs. We have already reported that Missouri will be holding a primary but no delegates will be rewarded, so that leaves us with Colorado (36) and Minnesota (40). Colorado appears to be following suit of neighbor Nevada and supporting Romney.

Last year the Missouri State Legislature voted to move up its state’s primary to early February in an attempt to make the Show Me State more relevant in national politics. Like most state capitals, Jefferson City is full of well-intentioned morons!
New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, Arizona, and Michigan also have state capitals full of well-intentioned morons. The RNC punished those 5 states by cutting half of its delegates and giving them less favorable seating at the National Convention in Tampa, FL. Fearing seats in the nose bleed section, the MO GOP chose to tell Jeff City what they can do with their primary, and will be holding a jacked up caucus in March.
This week Missouri is putting on their pointless beauty contest. Newt Gingrich will not be in this primary because, well, he just did not care enough to file. It’s that simple. Due to Newt’s decision to blow off Missouri, the polls look kind of weird, but nonetheless interesting.
- Santorum – 45%
- Romney – 34%
- Paul – 13%
Oregon, IL – The Illinois Conservatives announced today their endorsement of
Chapin Rose for the 51st district state senator.
Representative Rose has been a consistent conservative, serving in the
110th district, and it is the firm belief of the organization that he will continue to
be a principled leader as a state senator.
“Chapin has been a strong conservative voice and has provided his district with
real, positive leadership in the short time he has been in Springfield,” Illinois
Conservatives President Zach Oltmanns said. “He is going to help provide a
bright future for the state.”
Rose has taken many strong, conservative stands in his six years as a
representative, including serving on the Special Investigative Committee that
impeached former Governor Rod Blagojevich, voting against un-balanced
budgets, voting against the largest tax increase in state history and sponsoring
and voting for conceal and carry legislation. His pro-second amendment stances
even named him a past NRA Legislator of the Year. Prior to being elected to the
General Assembly, Rose was a prosecutor that helped lead the crackdown on
welfare fraud.
Receiving this endorsement will provide Rose with support from the Illinois
Conservative members. This support includes grassroots assistance, outreach to
younger votes, and additional volunteers to augment his campaign, something
that should prove valuable as we approach Election Day.The Illinois Conservatives, a leading conservative grassroots organization in
Illinois, believe in conservative ideologies and supports political candidates who
share in those beliefs for the betterment of the State of Illinois.
Today Illinois Conservatives announces its endorsement of Cliff Surges in the race for Illinois’ 33rd Senate District.

Surges is a respected member of his community, and has served as a former Village Trustee in Gilberts, where he has resided with his wife and children since 1990.
Illinois Conservatives is confident that Mr. Surges will bring the right combination of conservative policies, both fiscal and social, to Springfield, and we are glad to endorse his candidacy for the Illinois Senate.
“This is the time for Illinois leaders to show fiscal responsibility coupled with strong ethics.” Surges said. “I am pleased that Illinois Conservatives endorses me as such a candidate.”
The Illinois Conservatives would like for everyone to remember Senator Mark Kirk in your thoughts and prayers, as the junior senator from our state suffered a stroke over the weekend. We sincerely wish the senator a quick and full recovery and we are thinking of him during his time of serious illness.

Oregon, IL – Today, the Illinois Conservatives announced their endorsement of State Senator Sam McCann in the 2012 primary in the 50th State Senate District.
McCann, who is currently serving his 1st term in the Illinois Senate, is running to return to Springfield in the newly drawn 50th District. McCann was able to wrestle away the district from the Demuzio dynasty in 2010 with the help of Tea Party support, conservative activists, and swarms of likeminded, energetic volunteers. McCann now faces his first test since defeating Deanna Demuzio, in a newly drawn district. Knowing McCann’s commitment to hard work, the Illinois Conservatives believe that McCann will meet the challenge given to him and come out the other side victorious.
“The 50th State Senate District will be a battle ground district that the Democrats want to see flip back their way,” Illinois Conservatives president Zach Oltmanns said. “McCann is just one example of how we will hold our ground for conservatives and how we will take our state back from those that ran the ship aground.”
The Illinois Conservatives’ 2012 endorsement of McCann comes on the heels of their endorsement of him in 2010.
“Sam McCann has been a conservative voice in Springfield, a place that clearly does not have enough conservative voices,” Oltmanns said. “It is our pleasure to endorse him for the second time in two years.”
An endorsement by the Illinois Conservatives group means that State Sen. McCann will receive support from the Illinois Conservative members and support from various grassroots organizations and younger voters. These same groups will also help provide volunteers to ensure that State Sen. McCann returns to Springfield to continue the good work he began in 2010.
The Illinois Conservatives, a leading conservative grassroots organization in Illinois with over 4000 members statewide who believe in conservative ideologies and support political candidates who share in those beliefs for the betterment of the State of Illinois.
