DAILY HERALD
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Daily Herald blasts McKenna's "Hair today" campaign as being "naive."http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=334742&src= (FROM THE EDITORIAL: Flip your wig: It's not that we lack a sense of humor. But we believe Illinois' problems are complex and expect gubernatorial candidates to take them seriously. Andy McKenna's "Hair today" campaign blames the ousted governor for all our state's problems. That's naive. You're going to have to do more than trot out bad wigs to win votes.) -- DIERSEN HEADLINE: The Daily Herald promotes Proft winning the Schaumburg Township GOP endorsement and McKenna wining Venturi's endorsement, but the Daily Herald continues to refuse to report that results of the straw polls that the Downers Grove Township GOP conducted on October 18 and that the Milton Township GOP conducted on October 30. Why is that? Olson won the Downers Grove GOP straw poll and Kirk, Schillerstrom, Plummer, and Dodge won the Milton Township GOP straw poll. Does the Daily Herald disapprove of all straw polls, or just those straw polls won by candidates the Daily Herald does not like, or just those straw polls conducted by organizations that the Daily Herald does not like, or just straw polls that used methodologies that the Daily Herald does not like, or just straw polls that the Daily Herald believes were conducted improperly/unfairly, or just straw polls that the Daily Herald believes the winners manipulated?)
-- DuPage honors vets: DuPage County will observe Veterans Day at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, at the county convalescent center, 400 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton. The ceremony is open to the public. Speeches from area veterans will be followed by "Amazing Grace" and taps.http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=334804&src=2
-- Show truth about Obama, his allies - John King, Gurnee (THE LETTER: With the exceptions of relatively vanilla letters to the editor and a piece on campaign reform which will be massaged by the politicians to their liking, there is nothing in the "news" paper that approaches the hideous direction that Obama and his merry band of socialist schemers are driving my, and our country, in a short, very short, period of time. Must I consider the whereabouts of Andy Warhol a priority issue while Obama fills his staff and shadow government with known socialists and communists. Obama has contrived an army of anti-American, anti-freedom imbeciles, laced with Chicago thugs and convincers to move things along. Their activities are criminal, and absolutely no program or scheme to come out of this group could ever be on the plus side for any dedicated American. I am asking the press to break the bonds which hold this cesspool together.)http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=334115&src= -- Stock market: Signs say that worst is not over - Ray Cziczo, Antiochhttp://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=334122&src=
CBS2
-- Obama 'Won't Rest' Until America Prosperous Again (DIERSEN: Billions of Obama's supporters across the world hate prosperity and especially hate the prosperity that still exists in America. How will those billions of Obama supporters across the world a) punish Obama if he does things that actually makes America prosperous again and b) punish America if it becomes prosperous again?) http://cbs2chicago.com/politics/obama.jobs.homes.2.1295866.html
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
-- White House: FOX off-limits -- strategist - Peter Nicholas (DIERSEN: The White House blacklisting of Fox News Channel is very analogous to the Combine/RINO blacklisting of GOPUSA ILLINOIS.) http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2009/11/white_house_fox_offlimits_stra.html(FROM THE ARTICLE: At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration. Political consultants are a staple of cable television talk shows, analyzing current events based on their own experiences working on campaigns or in government. One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said. The message was, "We better not see you on again,'' said the strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to run afoul of the White House. An implicit suggestion, he said, was that "clients might stop using you if you continue.'' In urging Democratic consultants to spurn Fox, White House officials might be trying to isolate the network and make it appear more partisan. A boycott by Democratic strategists could also help drive the White House narrative that Fox is a fundamentally different creature than the other TV news networks. For their part, White House officials appear on Fox News -- but sporadically and with "eyes wide open,'' as one aide put it.)
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
-- SNEED: Republican gubernatorial hopeful Kirk Dillard politely chided primary opponent Andy McKenna on his "new hair expertise" prior to the GOP gubernatorial candidates debate at the Hilton Chicago Thursday. "I'm amazed he didn't show up in the 'Blago wig' he uses in his commercials," quipped Dillard. $$$$: Dillard and McKenna have heavyweights helping fill their campaign coffers: Dillard has business titans Fred Krehbiel and Ron Gidwitz; McKenna has Craig Duchossois and his wealthy father, Andy McKenna Sr.http://www.suntimes.com/news/sneed/1870691,CST-NWS-SNEED08.article
CAO'S BLOG-- Proft Wins Schaumburg Township GOP Endorsement - Proft Campaign (DIERSEN QUESTIONS: How many precincts does the township have? How many of them have precinct captains? How many of them voted? Was it a weighted vote based on the number Republican ballots cast in the precincts in the last primary election? The following was on the bottom of the straw poll ballots cast at the October 30 Milton Township Oktoberfest: "Please note that the results of this straw poll are NOT an endorsement of any particular candidate or candidates by the Milton Township Republican Central Committee or by any other organization or individual involved with this Oktoberfest event. Ballots printed courtesy of All Star Printing in Wheaton." Schillerstrom won that straw poll -- he received 142 of the 265 votes cast.) http://caosblog.com/archives/12397
-- This Week's Show: Sunday, November 8, 8AM - 9AM GOP Gubernatorial candidates faced the Will County Tea Party Alliance; State GOP Chair Pat Brady attempts to stifle real debate; and Mark Kirk begs for Sarah Palin's support. Jack Roeser, John Biver and Doug Ibendahl discuss this and more this Sunday morning.http://www.championnews.net/talk/
AMERICAN THINKER
-- Loyalty and the Lunatic Fringe - Thomas Kelly (FROM THE ARTICLE: Where is the loyalty of the RINOs? Arlen Specter joins the Democrats. Colin Powell endorses the Democrat. Dierdre Scozzafava endorses the Democrat. I'm not opposed to the Democratic Party out of some sense of style or family history. I'm opposed to the Democrats because I think they are wrong.) http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/loyalty_and_the_lunatic_fringe.html
CBS NEWS-- Palin Wisconsin Speech: No Phones, Laptops, Photos
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/11/06/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5550240.shtml(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be speaking at an event hosted by the group Wisconsin Right to Life this evening. It is a closed event – which generally means no press. Amid apparent worries that the ex-governor's words will be aired publicly despite that restriction, however, Wisconsin Right to Life and/or Palin's handlers are taking the notion of "closed" to a whole new level.)
KENDALL COUNTY REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: OUTSTANDING: In Kendall County, Republican Precinct Committeemen can attend quarterly executive committee meetings of the Kendall County Republican Central Committee -- See by-laws, Article II, Section 5.http://www.kendallgop.com/pdf/KCRCCBylawsAdoptedSigned.pdf
WESTERN KANE COUNTY REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION-- GOALS: To vigorously promote Republican principles in local, township and county government, To identify and elect quality candidates, To elect and support Republican Precinct Committeemen in every Western Kane County Precinct,To be accessible to all interested voters, to hear their views and to explain ours, To be an active and vital part of the County and Illinois State Republican Party. http://www.westernkanegop.com/our-goals-in-kane-county-gop-republican.html
ILLINOIS COMPILED STATUTES-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Per 10 ILCS 5/7-8(d): "In the organization and proceedings of the county central committee, each precinct committeeman shall have one vote for each ballot voted in his precinct by the primary electors of his party at the primary at which he was elected." Needless-to-say, that is one of many reasons why Republican Precinct Committeemen should work hard to maximize the number of Republican ballots that are cast in their precincts for primary elections.

REPUBLICAN YOUNG PROFESSIONALS-- 2004 FLASHBACK: Illinois Republicans call for special state convention a huge success!http://www.ilryp.org/ryp-il_015.htm(FROM THE ARTICLE: The 19 member State Central Committee of the Illinois Republican Party took a major step towards pro-democracy reform. In an unprecedented move by the State Central Committee, the process of selecting the next Party Chairman to fill the remaining two years of Judy Baar Topinka’s term will include an “open meeting” of Republicans prior to the Committee’s vote. For the first time in our State Party’s history, those seeking to become the next Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party will have to do more than simply appeal to a handful of leaders in back rooms. While the State Central Committee will still ultimately vote to pick the new Chairman, the prospect of the candidates having to first address all interested Republicans significantly changes the dynamics of the process. For the first time, regular Republicans will have input, and the candidates will have to publicly state their plans and vision for the State Party prior to installment. A potential Chairman now knows that he or she has to give some consideration to the views and concerns of the Party as a whole – instead of just the interests of 19 individuals. Along with thousands of rank-and-file Republicans, the following leaders and organizations joined in support of a call for a special state convention in order for the rank-and-file to have some input of the selection of the new State Party Chairman. There is no question that it was the incredible expression of support by rank-and-file Republicans, County Chairman, Republican leaders and grassroots organizations for a more open process which convinced the Central Committee to open up the selection procedure.) |
