Campaign roundup *** UPDATED x1 ***
Tuesday, May 20, 2008 - Posted by Rich Miller * Republican congressional candidate Steve Greenberg has a new campaign manager…
No offense to Corbett, but check this out…
If that isn’t a good indication of how badly Greenberg’s campaign is going, and how little interest there is in DC, here’s more…
Relatively low on cash? Relative to what? * Meanwhile, in another campaign…
And Durbin’s solution?
Ooooo. An FTC probe. Be still my heart. * The Daily Herald lists a few reasons why gas prices are so high…
The speculation is really driving the price in a big way. We can’t do much about China and India, but something could be done about speculators and capacity limits. Also, the just in time delivery system could be altered by requiring producers to have more fuel on hand. There are other good ideas out there as well, but all we’re gonna get from Durbin is an FTC probe. Hilarious. * Of course, there is also the tax issue…
No mention of that by our US Senator. * Speaking of gas prices, the governor showed he was a bit out of touch…
*** UPDATE *** GOP Congressional candidate Martin Ozinga just announced his staff lineup…

Our bizarre national discourse
Monday, Apr 7, 2008 - Posted by Rich Miller * National politics is just plain goofy. From the AP…
I can’t understand why we have to debate every four years whether major party candidates for president are patriotic or not. It just seems plain silly that anyone even considers the possibillity that a frontrunner candidate is somehow a dangerous anti-American because he doesn’t wear a flag pin, or was imprisoned by the Commies and may now be some sort of Manchurian Candidate, or joined the National Guard. What a crock. I also can’t figure how people can take one or two phrases uttered by a candidate, or a candidate’s spouse, or a candidate’s ally, or a candidate’s pastor or a candidate’s friend and make a firm decision that the candidate in question hates his/her country. Bizarre. * More national stuff…

Sauerberg pumps a mil into campaign
Tuesday, Apr 1, 2008 - Posted by Rich Miller * This is heartening news for Republicans…
Nobody believes that Sauerberg can win. The idea is to avoid being completely blown out of the water. If Obama wins the presidential nomination, the Republicans will need to slow - or at least not increase - the Democrats’ momentum as voters move down the ticket. If Durbin beats Sauerberg by a lot more than Obama wins the state, down-ballot Republicans are in even more trouble. * Sauerberg still has a long ways to go, however…
Durbin will undoubtedly have more than $10 million to spend this fall. * And this is an interesting development. The Illinois Review types are up in arms about Sauerberg, who had been positioning himself as a hardline conservative…
LaBarbera is not exactly what you would call a mainstream conservative, or even a mainstream ultraconservative. It won’t hurt Sauerberg much to get on LaBarbera’s bad side, and it might even help a tad.
