John Biver seems to have come out endorsing GOP Senate candidate Patrick Hughes over Mark Kirk today. Biver is the editor of ChampionNews.net, a conservative organization out of Cook County. (Hughes’ campaign website.)
Biver says that Hughes is “the best chance conservatives have in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate,” and that he came away impressed after meeting the candidate in person.
He’s a platform-supporting Republican, and just as important, he gives every indication that he understands what ails the Illinois and Washington, D.C. Republican political system. His chief opponent, Mark Kirk, exemplifies everything that’s wrong with our Party here in Illinois and in our nation’s capital.
Biver warns that as we approach the peak campaigning days, the several candidates had better take some time to assess their chances and decide what is best for the party as opposed to what strokes their egos.
I have to agree with him there. We saw this in the last race for governor where several GOP candidates stayed until the end and so weakened each other that we had no strength left to beat the even then obviously criminal Rod Blagojevich who won re-election despite his major troubles.
Biver has quite a lot of praise for Hughes in his ChampionNews.net piece so go on over and take a look.
Here are the candidates’ webpages:
