Can Andrzejewski Make Illinois Gov. a Real Race?

After Scott Brown’s upset senate victory in Massachusetts, everyone -- left and right -- is left wondering how big an omen it is for November. In the Tuesday Republican primary for the Illinois governor’s race, Adam Andrzejewski may provide the answer.

The importance of the ACORN story last summer proved that conservatives have begun to break the mainstream media’s stranglehold on political news. The visual confirmation -- distributed virally by alternate media willing to expose it, provided proof of ACORN’s deep-seated corruption. Bringing the story out invigorated both mainstream conservatives and Tea Party activists.

Scott Brown’s victory has had the same effect. Activists saw that a solid candidate, one that focuses on core principles, could win even in a blue state. The race for Governor in Illinois, and February 2nd’s Republican primary, has become the next battle for the blue.

Adam Andrzejewski, in his run for governor of Illinois, has seen this impact and excitement first hand and the change in the political landscape drew him into this race, despite a crowded field. “My five opponents in the race have a combined 100 years of political cronyism. I ask one question on the campaign trail, ‘Do you feel Illinois is running well’? My opponents have been there a long time, while the state and party have been run into a ditch. Illinois political experience, in this election cycle means, political failure and baggage.â€

We have a prez that has little experience in anything.
