Thanks MC. Sounds like LINK Stinks

Peck won because he is the most conservative.
Simple as that.

Now we just have to wait to see if we can get a candidate worthy of running on our fine ticket against the winners on the Dem and Rep side last night. Is Nelson running?

Congrats Garrett.

I believe Mr. Nelson was leaning against running if Gary Fitzgerald won the primary... I would fathom last night's results would make him re-consider based on who's formally on the ballot. Knowing a little about him, I know he thinks he can win but is considering how it would affect his private consulting business. He has said in the past that if he is going to do it, he needs to be certain that he is 100% committed. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Great. A puppet of the RNC, just what we need.

Garrett is a great choice for State Senator! Best to him in November! Best to the 49th would be with Peck!

Let's stop talking about oversized suits and wrinkled shirts for a second and focus on what Peck believes in terms of support the GOP platform.

- Substantially cut programs that are important for low & middle income working class families (affordable health care for all, education programs, food stamp assistance, Pell Grants - college $ for low income students, etc.).

- Extend Bush cuts for the wealthy & lower capital gains but NOT address the added tax burdens for the working poor.

- End the Medicare guarantee and stick seniors with the bill.

Why on earth would the 49th district that is mostly comprised of middle income families support programs THAT DO NOT BENEFIT THEM?! It doesn't make sense and leads me to believe that voters vote on the basis of what political sign they see on election day versus having a true understanding of what it at stake.

We need an independently minded candidate that can clearly articulate the pros/cons of policy issues that would impact our district. Mr. Nelson, when do you on making a final decision?

Hey Garrett,
Are you going to stop by and autograph my lawn sign! Your win had some impressive numbers, congratulation on your win, your half way their.

I supported Garrett and will continue to support him; he is a common sense conservative with the people's interest at the forefront of his ideology. He will win in November. Congratulations Garrett may this be a grass roots movement to elect common sense leadership that works for the people of Illinois.

@ Conservative. While I agree that the majority party in IL has not been as fiscally responsible as they should be (and the tax plan signed in 2011 is deeply flawed), my comments are not talking points but ones supported by conservative-minded economists. You cannot CUT your way to prosperity. It needs to be a combination of cuts and increased revenue measures (not balancing it on the backs of the middle class however). By the way, just so FOX doesn't brainwash you where you forget... Bush tax cuts for the wealthy that the GOP devised & passed (NOT PAID FOR), Medicare Part B (NOT PAID FOR), 2 wars (NOT PAID FOR OR IN ACTUAL BUDGET). Sorry Conservative... unfortunately when you run under a political party or movement (ex: Tea Party), you are agreeing with their platform. All politicians should be held to their beliefs and then the voters should decide what direction they want the country to go in. Good luck to your candidate in the fall!

I hate to say it Conservative but you are exactly why the general public dislikes politics or chooses to stay on the sideline....extreme right logic that is tone deaf to any other individual's thoughts or ideas. You also show your true colors by calling OUR president a Socialist...you are probably a "birther" as well and question the legitimacy of him holding office. You better hope that Santorum wins the nomination. If not, I would expect you to sit on the sidelines as Mitt makes W look like a far right winger.
