I’ve had a terrible time finding info on the results from the Illinois Governors Primary.
Pat Quinn won for the Democrats while the race between Brady and Dillard (Republicans) is still close. Brady is up by 406 votes and tomorrow is an important day for absentee ballots.
It looks like Brady is going to win but this thing isn’t over yet.
I almost voted for Brady. I picked Jim Ryan because I thought he was higher in the polls (I was apparently wrong about that!) Both Brady and Ryan are more conservative (especially on social issues) than Dillard.
So I hope Brady wins this contest.
Here is a mildly boring but at least informative interview with Bill Brady from Fox News Chicago:
Apparently when the Texas board of education evaluates school text books the entire nation is affected. Texas and California are the biggest purchasers of text books and California is in economic crisis. That leaves Texas.
Text book publishers cater to their biggest customers thus having a significant impact on what all American school children learn.
According to Mike Huckabee, David Barton, Matt Staver and others there is a significant risk of American History being purged of such things as Christmas and the Fourth of July; and students will be taught to prepare for “global citizenship” instead of American citizenship. This is all being decided by a school board in Texas.
