CBS2
-- Young Republicans Plan To Convert Democrats - Mike Parker

(THE ARTICLE: Young Republicans are on a mission to turn heavily Democratic Chicago into John McCain country. As CBS 2's Mike Parker reports they're fired up for the grand old party. On Friday night, in the heart of Democrat country – downtown Chicago - young Republicans and members of "Young Professionals for McCain" got together. They were networking, snacking and drinking, and talking about Sarah Palin and her much discussed appearances on ABC News. Carolyn Noon says Palin's lit a fire within her. "Charlie Gibson was tough, you know, and he did a really great job but she went right into her answers and looked him right in the eye and as she said, she didn't even blink," said Carolyn Noon, McCain supporter. But can Palin do what GOP bigwigs hope, and bring in disaffected Hillary Clinton voters? "I think there will be some soccer moms that will cross over from the Hillary camp into the Sarah camp," said Christine Svenson, McCain supporter. "But her numbers have really gone up with independent men." Friday's gathering seemed to show that Democrat Barack Obama has not completely sewn up the youth vote. "Obama can effectively speak the language of millennials, people who were born in my generation and that is an issue that must be dealt with," said Nick Schrock, McCain supporter. "The addition of Palin to the ticket does help that." Organizers of the bash say they think they've got a fighting chance to actually win Chicago. "Definitely making ourselves known that there are republicans in Chicago," said Jeremy Rose, Chicago Young Republicans. "I don't think Obama should take his home town for granted." The young GOP plan to paint the town red in November is flying in the face of history. The Chicago Board of Elections combed records today and was unable to find a single modern era presidential election in which a Republican carried the city. Even in his 1984 landslide, Ronald Reagan won only 10 of Chicago's 50 wards.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=234331&src=
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: One reason people get an education, get a job, and take care of their health is be able to afford things like heath care. If people can count on getting health care for free, they have one less reason to get an education, they have one less reason to get a job, they have one less reason to take care of their health. The Daily Herald continues to argue that in America, anyone, who for any reason, cannot afford health care, should be provided free heath care. But who ultimately pays for providing that free heath care? Ultimately, sadly, most people end up wasting if not abusing things that they get for free.

-- GEORGE RYAN IN 1992: "I am disturbed by the number of single issue voters we have in our party. "I would just point out that we need to win all the offices this year -- the presidential, the U.S. Senate and majorities in the General Assembly. "My fear is, that those Republicans may cause the defeat of more Republicans than those they have targeted." . . . "Illinois needs a Republican senator who represents mainstream values. "And Illinois most assuredly needs Republicans in control of the state Senate and House. "It is our duty and obligation to present our vision for Illinois and America clearly and without apologies.")
