Pro-Lifers Boost Randy Stufflebeam, Illinois Write-In Candidate for Governor

Credit Dan Zanoza of Republicans for Fair Media for being the first in the media to discover the information underlying this article:

IFRL PAC Endorses Stufflebeam for Governor:

Decision has Historical Implications for Illinois Politics

I have copied what I see on the Illinois Federation for Right to Life’s Political Action Committee web site on endorsements. 

After talking to Zanoza, I have looked at the endorsement page more closely and it seems that the group has three categories of comments under “endorsment” on candidates:

"Pro-Life" for Stufflebeam alone,

"Endorsed" for most listed and

"Recommended" for a few.

Way down at the bottom are endorsements for three Metro-East judicial candidates, plus for the office of “Deputy Sheriff (Lake County),” which probably will be changed to “Sheriff.”

In any event, given most prominence is write-in candidate Randy Stufflebeam.

In his article Zanoza observes,

The IFRL PAC's support of Stufflebeam demonstrates a seed change in Illinois politics. For the first time, a major pro-life organization is endorsing a third party candidate. Also, Stufflebeam did not gain ballot status, giving more significance to the IFRL PAC endorsement.

A source told RFFM.org this is a ground-shaking development in the political matrix in this state. The Republican source, who requested anonymity, said, "The IFRL PAC's endorsement goes far beyond the pro-life issue. It means the party will have to rethink its nomination process and pay more attention to the wishes of the GOP's conservative political base."
