Rosanna Pulido Wins Republican Nomination For The 5th District In Chicago

Although you'd never know it as the MSM here is so juiced for Democrats in this town you barely find her name mentioned in the gushing over the Dem winner, present Cook county commissioner Mike Quigley, just another rising dem cog in the Daley machine here in Illinois.

A state who's fate is sadly determined by the city of Chicago at the present time and for the foreseeable future, yet with the former governor and Roland Burris worldwide circus and embarrassment that's just occurred, that could all change and fast in Republican Conservative's favor which Rosannna Pulido is hopefully the first one.

Story after story grace the websites of the local newspapers here tonight slobbering all over Quigley as if he has just automatically won the seat, which gives weight to the reason why many simply don't show up to vote election after election. Leaving us always ending up with same old people starting out with great intentions becoming more and more corrupted as they make their way up the political patronage ladder, particularly here.

However, the untold story to many this morning is the fact that the woman that we've supported here and will continue through to April 7th's election has gotten the republican nomination, and truly does have an uphill battle in Daley's kingdom to become the next Congressperson from that famous chunk of Chicago where the dems on the main stage today got their start.

I give Rosanna all the credit in the world for having the gumption to try and make a change in this city owned by democrats, and all we can do for her is keep working and hoping that by some small miracle with the race now focused on just three candidates (green party's Reichel gets in with 128 votes?) instead of twelve, she can get some more coverage from the corrupt local media to surprise Chicago and the world in April with a huge win over Mike Quigley.

Not to mention the likely mountain of money being sent out here by Obama and Emmanuel to make sure they get a democrat in this seat at all costs to spend all that still secret stimulus cash coming Daley's way.

Congratulations out tonight to Ms Pulido and onward we all go to April 7.

Here's the local news rundown on Rosanna so far this morning and here's her website link

Pulido wins congressional candidacy challenge

chicagotribune.com: "Rosanna Pulido, founder of the Illinois Minutemen Project and a vocal opponent of illegal Immigration, has survived a petition challenge and will be on the Republican ballot in the 5th Congressional District primary March 3.

Pulido is a frequent and often feisty guest on the local talk-radio circuit and should prove to be an interesting candidate. The challenge to her candidacy was mounted Joshua Hoyt, executive director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. According to Pulido's campaign, Hoyt even questioned the validity of the signature of Pulido's father."

And this about wraps it up, pretty biased coverage I would conclude wouldn't anyone with a breath of honesty left in them.?

Special Election Today In Chicago To Replace "Dead Fish" Emmanuel, Obama's DC Consigliere

Chicago has a chance to get out today and vote for the 5th congressional district primary to replace Rahm Emmanuel, Obama's head Cheat Of Staff and it's a seat that's belonged to Dems for decades, just like almost every other one in this Daley owned city.

However, today we're praying that our Republican candidate of choice, Rosanna Pulido, lifelong hometown fifth district resident can come out in front at the end of the day to go on and fight the machine on behalf of the republicans in the general race coming in April.

Here's the official schedule for this special election starting today.

Calendar
• March 3: Primary election day

• March 16-April 2: early general election voting
• April 3-April 6: in-person absentee voting
• April 7: Election day

So please get out there and cast a vote if not for Rosanna which we hope you will at least the republican candidate as it's time to break the Dem choke hold on the city and this special election culd set the tone for change that sure didn't come with the lying and cheating cabal led by Barack Hussein Obama, so Chicago lets wise up and end this party rule starting today in the Fifth.

"Special election Today For 5th Congressional District

Elections -- chicagotribune.com: President Barack Obama's appointment of Rahm Emanuel as his White House chief of staff created a highly coveted opening in the state's 5th Congressional District, which covers much of Chicago's North Side and Northwest Sides and parts of the near northwest suburbs.

Unlike Obama's old U.S. Senate seat, the congressional vacancy will be filled through a special election. The winner will have the right to complete Emanuel's two 2-year term. The Democratic dozen includes four veteran politicians as well as eight newcomers."

Our Candidate Rosanna Pulido Up Against That Same Old Dem Machine In The Chitown 5th District Race

Primary day for the special election coming up in Chicago is on this Tuesday, the third of March, and hopefully my favorite pick for the republican candidate in the heavily weighted dem stonghold, Rosanna Pulido will be victorious in her quest to become congresswoman of her home turf. However she has a large pack of those same old same tired machine politico's on the left and some other decent candidates on the right who are all vying for the same seat, although she is the only candidate on both sides that is a lifelong resident of the 5th district in question..

The rest are all outsiders looking to use the famous launching pad for ambitious dem national wannabe's, (just like the previous holders of the seat most recently held by Dead Fish Emmanuel that is in play) so they too can become lifelong porkers at the public earmark trough. Famously digging their snouts in the slop also known as the public treasury so maybe they too one day can lie and cheat their way straight into the white house just like the current temporary occupant, Hussein Obama.

So if you are a Chicago resident please make sure to cast your all important vote on Tuesday to get some fresh citizen representation of the people by the people for the people in Washington Rosanna Pulido represents, instead of those full time lifer's on both sides of the same old political pigpen who could care less about that district and it's residents, and only care about advancing their personal political ambitions.

Watch Rosanna hold her own in this Tribune sponsored round table between the five republicans vying for the spot on the ticket, all the same old same old white guy club that America has obviously grown tired of.

In addition she will also be on Terri O'brien's internet radio show, blogtalkradio.com/Teri-OBr

ien, 2-3 pm Central time. She's coming on at ~2:10 pm.

5th District race in final lap, will be close call

Chicagotribune.com: "The competitiveness of the Democratic race to replace Rahm Emanuel in Congress was on display Saturday as candidates crisscrossed the North and Northwest Sides to glad hand at bowling alleys, throughout the Bungalow Belt and even on Irish radio shows.

As Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley arrived at the Waveland Bowl, there on Western Avenue sat a giant sign for state Rep. John Fritchey (D-Chicago), a competitor in Tuesday's special primary election.

With many of the dozen Democrats, six Republicans and five Green Party candidates fanning out across the 5th Congressional District for the final weekend push before decision day, it was easy enough for them to trip over each other.

"It's neck-and-neck in this race and I'm freaking out," confessed Greg Bales, 24, a field organizer for state Rep. Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago), as he gave instructions to a group of about 50 volunteers ready to go door-to-door in Portage Park.

The district, which leans heavily Democratic, stretches from Lake Michigan to suburbs near O'Hare International Airport, encompassing both Northwest Side blue collar neighborhoods and the Gold Coast.

A mad dash for the seat started late last year when Emanuel, who had represented the district since 2003, left to become White House chief of staff for President Barack Obama. The contest turned negative in recent days, with Feigenholtz launching a TV ad trying to paint Quigley as a supporter of County Board President Todd Stroger.

The crowd of Feigenholtz supporters was heavy on workers represented by the Service Employees International Union, including the group's Illinois president, Tom Balanoff.

"We need a fighter for us right now," Balanoff told the group. "We're going to bring this home on Tuesday."

Quigley spent his day going door-to-door, meeting with Latino voters in Melrose Park, visiting seniors and shaking hands at the bowling alley, where off-duty police officers rolled in a charity tournament.

"There is nothing more important than voter contact," he said. "You don't want to leave anything out there untouched."

Fritchey got support from more than 200 union laborers, grocery store workers, bricklayers, sheet metal workers, truck drivers, heavy machinery operators and machinists who knocked on Northwest Side doors.

After a pep talk, Fritchey went door-to-door to appeal to voters in the Roscoe Village neighborhood, where many recognized him as their longtime state representative.

"Turnout is going to be low, so we got to get everyone out there," he told several voters on Eddy Street. A woman on the next block told Fritchey that Quigley had knocked on her door earlier in the day.

Ald. Patrick O'Connor (40th) campaigned at two Irish radio shows and a St. Patrick's dinner dance at a church near the city limits on the Northwest Side.

Clad in an emerald green sports coat, O'Connor gave an interview to a WCEV-AM 1450 host who spoke with a brogue. Besides answering questions about the economy, education, Immigration and U.S. Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.), O'Connor told listeners about his father's successes in Gaelic football before coming to America.

"Does the name help out at all?" asked host Sean Ginnelly, laughing at the propensity of Chicago voters to disproportionately choose candidates with Irish surnames.

"I've always been proud of it, so I don't hide from it for sure," O'Connor replied. "My dad's from Killarney and my mom's folks are from Mayo."

"Good background," said Ginnelly, a native of County Mayo.

Labor lawyer Tom Geoghegan, meanwhile, spent Saturday walking precincts, making phone calls and attending a coffee reception at the home of a supporter.

More of the same is planned Sunday, with church services a priority.
