ILLINOIS GOP FINDS CANDIDATE
By Stockton
In the wake of Alan Keyes' embarrassing showing in the 2004 Senate Race, the Illinois GOP has already recruited a candidate to take on Democrat Richard Durbin in the next senate race.
"It has been a tough year," said the Republican Chairman of Illinois (who wished to remain anonymous). "We picked the perv [Jack Ryan], then we picked a madman from Maryland. This time, we wanted time to really checkout the background of our candidate."
According to the Chairman, youth and vigor were they main criteria when searching for Durbin's opponent. "We wanted someone young and but experienced. We wanted someone who wasn't afraid to say what he'd do in Washington. Someone with conviction and with family values. We're not getting caught with our pants down this time."
Their choice, was young Sidney Blatt, a Springfield resident. Mr. Blatt was unavailable for comment, but did forward a press packet.
