IL-11: Anatomy of a Dud, Part III

The so-called GOP “consensus candidate” to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Weller and take on Democratitc state Sen. Debbie Halvorson, New Lenox mayor Tim Baldermann, is looking more and more like a dud.  Case in point: GOP crumb-bum extraordinaire Dennis Hastert is bailing out the Baldermann campaign with a much-needed fundraiser:

Baldermann admits he needs the money.

“I have done very little fundraising,” he said. “It makes me sick to my stomach. My campaign people gave me a list of people who gave money to (Weller). I told them, ‘If you think I’m going to call somebody who’s never heard of me and ask for $2,300, that’s insane.’ I fight with them every single day over it.

“They wanted my Christmas card list. I’m not doing that stuff. I refuse to do it. The Republican Party wanted me to run; the Republican Party should help fund my campaign.”

Which Republican Party, Tim?  This one?

Get serious.
