Dan Rutherford a blistering Editorial in the Chicago Tribune. I support having a Special Election to replace a vacant US Senate seat.

Source: www.chicagotribune.com
The illicit taking of a U.S. Senate seat that supposedly belongs to the people of Illinois is formally complete. On Friday the Senate Ethics Committee gave Roland Burris its mildest possible rebuke, a "Public Letter of Qualified Admonition."The letter's essential meaning: Mr. ...

Karen Sherman BushyGlad to see Mother Tribune so irate now, but I seem to recall that they supported Mr. Blagojevich for his re-election, even in the face of the then-known investigations and shenanigans. They've been known for a bit of editorial cowardice themselves. Too bad none of this will change unless we get a Republican governor with the courage and the will to make a real difference, otherwise it will be "same ole, same ole" thing.....and the Illinois voter has no voice.

Dan Rutherford Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has kicked off her national book tour. It has created quite a buzz. A part of our campaign website is 'The General Store', which benefits the Dan Rutherford Campaign Committee. We have Sarah Palin buttons available from her campaign and the contribution benefits our campaign.

The General Store is new and we want it to be a "win - win" for everyone. When donations are made to the Dan Rutherford Campaign Committee through the General Store the contributor will receive quality items.

Hey, don't get me wrong I like her too. But is she turns out to be our Republican nominee for Prez then you might as well prepare for 4 more years of Obama.

I watched Dan this morning. It was a great interview and I absolutely agree with you on the subjects of removing the terrorist from Gitmo to places in the U.S. and also on them getting a civilian trial instead of a military one! Just ANOTHER example of how this government has no clue what they are doing!!! Seen when do our soldiers read people their Miranda rights!!
