They are on the verge of inviting Alan Keyes to lose in November against Barak Obama.  Obama had a 20 point lead over Jack Ryan before the latter dropped out of the Illinois Senate race.<\/p>\n<p>You may have heard the story.  Mr. Ryan allegedly asked his wife to perform oral sex on him in front of people at a sex club.  When she tearfully refused he reportedly told her that she was ruining his mood.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh compassionate conservatism.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate the Republicans have yet to field a candidate.  They tried to get Mike Ditka to run but he didn&#8217;t.  Today they interviewes a dozen or so people for the job.  One of those, Alan Keyes of Maryland.  i hope Keyes stays out.  i couldn&#8217;t care less that he is from maryland.  Our constitution allows for him to become a resident of the state any time up to and including the day of the election.<\/p>\n<p>i have my heart set on the choice of another candidate.  Daniel R. Vovak.  He is new to Illinois (only lived here for a week), but he has something none of the other candidates have.  No, not a chance to win; NONE of them have that.  Mr. Vovak wears a powdered wig and lives in his Mustang convertable (he calls it &#8220;Air Ford One&#8221;).  i can see the debates now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If you are all as interested as i am in seeing something like this, please send emails of support for Mr. Vovak to the Chair of the Illinois GOP.  Her name is Judy Baar Topinka.  chairman@ilgop.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(NOTE: This entry guest blogged by Johnhp) The Republican party of Illinois has just admitted they can&#8217;t field a candidate from Illinois.
