“Holy mackerel!” Adam Andrzejewski said when I called him just now after learning that he’d been endorsed by Rush Limbaugh this afternoon on the nation’s No. 1 radio program.
“We’re gonna win this race … That’s got to be the closer,” said Andrzejewski, whose GOP gubernatorial campaign was also reportedly endorsed today by Glenn Beck on the eve of tomorrow’s primary. “It’s a historical election for Illinois. Nothing like this has ever happened here before.”
Andrzejewski isn’t taking any votes for granted in the hard-fought seven-candidate race. He got the news of Limbaugh’s endorsement while shaking hands with voters in a Polish restaurant on North Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago.
Remember: This is all just a coincidence.

Hankmeister| 2.1.10 @ 4:21PM
As a voter in the People's Republic of Illinois, I'm not influenced in the least by el Rushbo ... I was already going to vote for Andy Andrzejewski.
But even if he doesn't win, there are at least two other conservative Republican candidates who might earn the right to face off against the Demoncrat selection and do a little whack-a-mole this fall.
I'm not a card carrying member of the Tea Party Movement (yet) but I know more than a few and they're certainly on to something by drawing conservatives from both the Republican, Independent, Democrat and Libertarian political spheres. Personally, I'd love to see both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party thrown on the ash heap of history and see a Liberal Party and a Conservative Party rise from the ashes. This new paradigm would certainly put America back on the right course given how a clear majority of people are fiscally and socially conservative to a significant degree. Now that would be a pretty big tent.
BTW, how is it liberal Democrats keep whining that they really aren't "socialists" when the Communist Party USA practically endorses virtually everyone of the Congressional Democrat's and Obama's fiscal and social policies. Okay, maybe they aren't "socialists" but they have to be "communists" if the CPUSA enthusiastically supports their political ideology, right? After all, by definition virtually every dictatorship, liberal Democrat, socialist democrat, socialist, communist and Nazi (National Socialist German Workers' Party) is some kind of socialist collectivist despite whatever minor differences exist in the executive and legislative functions of their respective velvet gulags.
Rhonda | 2.1.10 @ 5:16PM
Thank you for voting for Adam. I agree with you, we need to redo all that has been done by both parties. That is why I like Adam, there are going to be just as many RINO's upset by his win as Dems.
I do however wonder who the other two "conservatives" are you were talking about? I have heard and met and read till my eyes feel out about the others an if a person digs deep enough, there is very little conservative about them other than they say they are. They are pretty much business as usual coming out of Chi-Town.
Let's hope this is the win that will take us where we need to go but as he said yesterday at a rally in O'Fallon IL, he cannot do it by himself so we have to vote in the people that can help us, the Americans and citizens in IL win back our voice.
You already sound like a T.E.A. (taxed enough already) man. Please help us in our fight for freedom, fiscal responsibility, and smaller government. WE need all the people that find those values important to help.
Thanks again for going for Adam.

Denny | 2.2.10 @ 1:39AM
I concure wholeheartedly with most every point you made.
Remember that there is nothing democratic about forcing someone to work for something you won't work for to get yourself. That is called Slavery. The Republican Party was EXPRESSLY FORMED to STOP this kind of forced Socialism.

Wouldn't it be great to have a Non-Politician, Creator & Owner of a small business, ready to cut spending and taxes and to make Illinois friendly to businesses, Governor? Illinois' unemployment is almost 11%, it's taxes and other biz costs are running businesses out, and, the state's broke! Give me NEW BLOOD anytime!!

M. Thatcher| 2.1.10 @ 5:41PM
Sorry, but I heard the show, and while Rush ran a quick Lech soundbite and had a very brief generic comment about Andrzejeweski's chances, there was not even the HINT of an endorsement.
beckncall| 2.1.10 @ 8:45PM
I heard Rush talking about Adam being Illinois Scott Brown type candidate. I heard him mention Lech Walsea's concerns that America is not the super power or the world leader as she once was, ( you can thank Mr. Obama for that) but I too did not hear him say 'I endorse Adam Andrzejewski for Governor of Illinois."
Talking about yes, Rush or Glenn endorsing is a bit of a stretch. But to Adam's credit he is being talked about around the water cooler.
chris pedersen| 2.1.10 @ 5:47PM
I wish all who blog would educate themselves about the Fair Tax Plan and have candidates advocate for its passage See:fairtax.org and get on board with this winning platform because "Only a flamming foooool would argue against keeping their own money",while at the same time arguing tp undermind their own monatary self preservation as Obama is doing too the entire Nation today. Abolish the IRS a/k/a The Internal Racketeering Service Of The United States Of La Cosa Nostra, the punisher of success and enforcer of supression
All bloggers should research the "Plan", advocate for financial liberation. Remember Liberty=Freedom..... Financial Freedom =True Freedom! IT'S OUR MONEY WHY ADVOCATE FOR THE STATUS QUO? AREN'T YOU TIRED OF BEING ROBBED BLIND BY THE FEDERAL "MOB"? PASS THE FAIR TAX PLAN NOW!!!!
Randall A. Robinson| 2.1.10 @ 8:33PM
Here, here for the Fair Tax! Another Republican gubernatorial candidate in another state, South Carolina, is on board for the Fair Tax and also wants to implement it on a statewide level, to abolish South Carolina's income tax. That candidate is state representative Nikki Haley. She is potentially South Carolina's Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal rolled into one and is a rising star to watch.
Todd| 2.1.10 @ 6:01PM
I would prefer a candidate who can make the distinction between "historic" and "historical".
S.| 2.1.10 @ 6:02PM
I agree with M. Thatcher. I didn't construe Rush Limbaugh's remarks as an outright endorsement.

Rush has always said he has a policy of NOT endorsing candidates for primaries... and this didn't sound like an exception to me. I love you RSM, but I think you were mislead this one.

Riiiiight!
Rush didn't 'endorse!' Andrzjewski at all! He just called him "Illinois' Scott Brown," that's all.
No endorsement. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Kent| 2.1.10 @ 8:47PM
I was at the rally. I told the co-founder of Solidarity (also there endorsing Adam) to "thank LW for coming to America and for being a real President. We hadn't seen one of those around here in a LONG time."
After that went through his translator, he laughed and gave a big thumbs up.
M. Simon | 2.1.10 @ 9:10PM
America is conservative socially. Which is why medical marijuana out polled traditional marriage in
Maine by 58% to 53% (both won).
There has to be a conservative explanation for that somewhere. I have yet to find it.
Oh. Yeah. Being a true blue Stalinist I have instructed my family to vole for Adam. Them being the revolutionaries they are they will vote as they dam well please.
tonypal| 2.1.10 @ 9:37PM
Interesting that you want your family to "vole" for Adam. A vole is a rodent, which falls well below human on the food chain, but slightly higher than leftist. So if they do "vole" for anyone, they will be stepping up in class.

UPDATE 1X: Limbaugh, Beck Endorse Andrzejewski | Chicago Daily Observer links to this page. Here’s an excerpt:
Rich Rostrom| 2.1.10 @ 9:55PM
This could be a disaster. Andrzejewski is a vanity candidate, who has no program other than conservative generalities, no appeal to anyone outside the hard conservative activist base, and no experience in politics. (Scott Brown had plenty of all three.) He comes across in person as a ninny.
This will probably have the effect of diverting conservative votes from Sen. Kirk Dillard, the only conservative with a chance in this race, and allowing corrupt insider RINO Andy McKenna to win.
If Andrzejewski should miraculously win the nomination, he'll lose bad in November to either Democrat. Embarrassingly bad. It takes more than a good set of talking points to win an election.
chicagotrauma| 2.2.10 @ 1:00AM
Yes , the same Dillard who once endorsed Obama.

You sir are a complete genious....
Marcus| 2.2.10 @ 10:23AM
Correct on count 1, AA is a vanity candidate. Nothing like Scott Brown. Count 2 is incorrect. Dillard is not the best candidate the Republicans can run in the general election. He's another Edgar endorsed politico and we know how well they have done the last elections. Dillard's endorsement of BO is a true achilles heal.
Landon| 2.2.10 @ 12:00AM
Adam will win the primary and stands the best chance to win the race for governor. He has outlined his plan to put Illinois back on track and is the only one to give specifics of how he would do so. He has already gained national suport and recognition!
Sam| 2.2.10 @ 1:45AM
Can someone please type in how Andrzejewski is pronounced? At the moment, my best guess is "Andrew-ski"
Deborah D | 2.2.10 @ 10:48AM
I think I saw this somewhere yesterday -- "Andrew-ff-ski"
Deborah D | 2.2.10 @ 10:52AM
Oops -- checked online and votecounter below is correct: "And-GEE-eff-ski"
