(Rogers Park) - We all know by now Kelly Cassidy was anointed by the powers-that-be. We all know by now if you read the gay press, she is also gay.
If you read the gay press, you'll know her opponent, Paula Basta, is gay, too. For some reason, that's all that mattered to the gay press.
Resident's in the 14th district saw all through that on March 20. They voted who was the best person to represent them.
After all, politics is local. Not gay or straight. We in Rogers Park just want someone to represent us fairly - with our values in mind.
Which one of the biggest issues is crime and gun control.
So, tonight, with 79% of the precincts counted, Now in Rogers Park is declaring State Rep. Kelly Cassidy as the winner of the 2012 Democratic primary with over 62% of the vote.
BLOGNOTE: We've chosen a very good representative as our voice in Springfield. Not because she is gay, it's because she knows how to do her job. Wonder how the gay press will spin this? I'm guessing they'll lead the story - letting the public know she is gay.
Back that up a second. Being politically correct as the gay media is these days, they'll call her the "L" letter of the alphabet, instead.

Ginderske: "We're going to win"
(Rogers Park) - First thing Jim Ginderske noticed when he arrived at precinct 25 at 1230 West Loyola Avenue this morning at 5:57 a.m., was I was waiting for him.
Although he arrogantly asked, "Who are you?", when I asked for some time.
The second thing Jim noticed was no blue cones marking off the campaigning by candidates to the precinct.
This is one of the reason's Jim is in the race. He says he's for a fair and accountable ward operations when it comes to electing our public officals. He doesn't believe the current operation under David Fagus does that.
Ginderske has an uphill battle today, being very undefunded, yet when asked, he was confident he was going to be the victor at the end of the day.
"We're going to win," said Ginderske, as he was directing a couple of volunteers to their various locations in the ward.
Claiming to have no Occupy Chicago members as helpers today, Jim still said he had "enough volunteers to cover every precinct - except #2," the high-rise on Sheridan Road, near Rosemont and the lake.
Ginderske doesn't have the resourses to have signage at the pricincts. He feels "chalk bombing" his vote number with name on the sidewalk is more effective - citing the political signage gets lost in the mass of the 49th ward party signs put up earlier in the morning for judges and candidates Dave Faguses organization picked to support this election cycle.
Ginderske and his team were able to secure 1300 signatures to get on the ballot in 3 days. Let's see if they can earn enough votes to back up his bold claim of victory today.
