By Cao on 2/3/2010

I lost track of what happened at what time…I left the Mitchell party to see if I could catch part of Joe Walsh’s Victory Party so the night would end on a positive note. I was stunned that Paul didn’t get more than 38% of the vote, but for a first time campaign, I [...]

Light voter turnout produced close results in several races in Illinois primary 2010

Light voter turnout produced close results in several races in Illinois primary 2010

By Cao on 2/3/2010

Several of the races produced results so close there may be calls for recounts, and that includes races that democrats were competing in. I’ve heard it said, though, that light voter turnout is good for the republican base.
Brady and Dillard were very close in the Governor’s race.

Plummer and Murphy were very close for Lt. [...]

It’s really very dishonest.
Although it doesn’t have Sandy’s name on it, Personal PAC endorsed her.

Paul Mitchell has Sandy Cole's attention-look at her mailer!!

Paul Mitchell has Sandy Cole’s attention-look at her mailer!!

By Cao on 1/16/2010

You’d think this was “fight the smears”, LOL!! She has to date not answered any of the charges made by Mitchell, and that’s because she’s long on rhetoric but short on substance. In fact, the democrat candidate in this race can’t get the usual endorsement from Planned Parenthood or environmental groups, SEIU, etc.-because Sandy already has them. She is the quintessential definition of a RINO; here is a listing of her answers on surveys, her voting record and endorsements.

Mitchell Congratulates Opponent on Planned Parenthood Endorsement

Mitchell Congratulates Opponent on Planned Parenthood Endorsement

By Cao on 12/15/2009

Gurnee, IL-Republican State Representative candidate Paul Mitchell today extended his congratulations to his opponent, State Representative Sandy Cole (R-Grayslake) of the Illinois 62nd District, on her endorsement by Planned Parenthood Illinois Action (PPIA), the non-partisan political and advocacy arm of Planned Parenthood of Illinois. The endorsement was announced by PPIA on December 10th, 2009. “I know that Mrs. Cole is too modest to make a big deal of this,” said Mitchell, “but I just think every Republican primary voter in the 62nd district would want to know about this endorsement.”

Planned Parenthood, in its various chapters and affiliates, is the world’s second-largest abortion provider, after the government of communist China. In the United States, Planned Parenthood takes in revenues of $1 billion dollars per year, one-third (or over $300 million) of which comes from federal, state and local governments. Planned Parenthood is also a leading advocate of President Obama’s healthcare reform initiative.
