While I try to post primarily on foreign affairs this really caught my eye about Illinois politics. I had read somewhere else that Lech Walesa was coming to Chicago to appear on behalf of its Tea Party movement, this is unusual so I scoped around a bit. Turns out Walesa, hero of the Solidarity Movement in Poland, is indeed coming to Chicago and it is to campaign for Adam Andrzejewski. Andrzejewski is running for Governor of Illinois and has a pretty impressive story, an authentic American success story. He has wide support among the tea parties and seems to be making a real connection with Republican voters. Andrzejewski is calling for the usual, lower taxes, anti-GOP establishment, choice in education, but he has really resonated by calling for government transparency and considering the corruption in Illinois that should be a winner! Redstate has called him "politically numinous" and believes he has a chance of winning the GOP primary. I hope he has a shot at winning the governor's office and put the ax to the corruption in Illinois, it is a race I am going to watch.
