Andrzejewski's Army
A Tea Party candidate battles the Illinois establishment.
(Page 2 of 2)
Despite the inherent disadvantages of an anti-establishment campaign in a state dominated by patronage politics, a poll last week showed Andrzejewski among a pack of five leading GOP gubernatorial candidates bunched within a range of eight percentage points, none with more than 20 percent support. Since then, Dillard has come under heavy criticism for appearing in a 2008 campaign commercial for Obama, and Andrzejewski says his own campaign has gained ground.
"We feel we're either within the margin of error or leading the race right now," said the Tea Party candidate, adding that he senses "panic" among his rivals in the crowded primary field. "We think 22 percent wins the race. Anywhere from 150,000 to 200,000 votes -- in a state of 13 million -- will win the nomination. The bar is that low."
Having put a lot of miles on his truck in the course of a long campaign, Andrzejewski compared himself to another truck-driving Republican.
"Everyone wants a winner," he said. "Everybody is ready for a Scott Brown experience."

Good luck, Mr. Andrzejewski. The state where I was born and raised could use a good house cleaning. I'd love to see Obama's state run by a Tea Partier. How ironic and delicious would that be!!?
Downstate Illinois needs to kick the Chicago crowd out. They're sick and tired of their rundown lives and all their taxes being skimmed by criminal politicians -- in both parties -- in the corrupt Chicago politics that is Illinois.

I'll be voting for him tomorrow. Illinois needs to get rid of all incumbents, they are all the same regardless of the letter between the parenthesis.

The bigger appeal of the Andrzejewski campaign is a pledge to "audit" the State Budget. One wonders how many inventive ways the intrenched Bureaucrats in both Springfield and Chicago will find to outlast, obfuscate or otherwise sabotage these Audits?

Illinois sucks! The brightest Illinoi...have moved to Texas...as fast as they could. ie: my wife.
...nobody left there with any brass ones.
I'm wrong??? Prove it!!!!!!!!!!!

"The Chicago Tribune didn't even send a reporter to cover the Lech Walesa endorsement," Andrzejewski said Sunday. "They took seven sentences, 113 words, off the Associated Press wire.… They're doing everything they can to ignore our campaign."
BIAS IN THE LIBERAL MEDIA?
NAH......CAN'T BE.......

"Show me the money, every dime, online, in real time. That's my phrase for transparency. Barack Obama ran on it, and he lied to you."
What a campaign slogan. Beautiful, Outstanding. Probably a snowball has a better chance in hell than the g.o.o.p or Tea Party using it.
How can you not be for a candidate who actually does speak TRUTH to power???
As for Lech............His picture should be in wiki under 'speaking truth to power'.

Very useful information! Customers are the king in any market and hence their concerns should be tackled at the earliest. Social Media has provided a very convenient way of listening to the customers’ grievances and also addressing them quickly.
