How Alan Keyes and DU can take back the House for Kerry/Edwards

[Walt Starr]

It's pretty simple. Alan Keyes is currently polling at 28% to Barak Obama's 67%. The people he appeals to are the radically conservative base of the Republican Party. Illinois Republicans are, for the most part, moderate. To support this fact, look at Jim Edgar and Jim Thompson, two former Illinois governors who were both very moderate Republicans and both of whom have not endorsed Keyes.

This, coupled with the fact that Bush is not going to win Illinois, COULD result in a general Republican apathy to this election. This could open up all sorts of doors!

If Republicans stay home in droves, it could help our Democratic candidates going up against Republican incumbents in the House. But they need YOUR help. We need to donate to these candidates and we need to help spread word about these candidates to the rest of the Democratic blogs and web sites!

I'll start the ball rolling. Here are links to and a picture of the Democratic Candidate for the U.S. House from the Illinois Thirteenth Congressional District. Her name is Gloria Andersen and she's running aginst the incumbent, Judy Biggert. Ms. Biggert has pretty much been a rubber stamp for the Bush administration:

Illinois DUers, let's add those links and contact info! The sweetest victory I can imagine in Illinois is if we use Alan Keyes to take back the House!

Please keep this post kicked!
