AdamForIllinois: First off, you don't know about any of the campaign staffers,
Enough reports on the internet about An-gee's staffers being morons. Even this thread is a wonderful example of this - how can you ever hope to persuade Polish voters if you're abusing non-Americans?
I am sure they are all more intelligent than you are.
Can't stop yourself, can you? if they were more intelligent, then they would've directed a far more intelligent campaign. I dare say that one day, his endorsement of Walesa will come back to haunt him - if he was a serious threat, then his opponents would have torn Walesa's credentials apart.
And here's a hint for you-how about not posting on discussion forums that do not appeal to you.
Why not? It interests me. I'm interested in American politics (what do you know about European politics? Do you know anything about the split in Solidarity in 1990? What about the see-sawing from right to left in Poland? No? Thought not.
Adam simply wasn't known to the entire state. I think people should've done their homework more to learn about the candidates but then again if you knew anything, the Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times, and Daily Herald never mentioned any of Adam's endorsements
Perhaps they simply weren't noteworthy? As I posted above, even some of An-gee's endorsements didn't actually endorse him - and Walesa was paid for.
We contacted them all and they never put us in an article, yet, they would put Dillard, McKenna, or Ryan in there. And then at the end of such an article, they would mention: And other candidates in this race include Hinsdale businessman Adam Andrzejewski... and so on
Unfortunately, you found out the hard way that internet politics are completely different from the real world. I won't dispute that An-gee did a fantastic job of motivating the "Palin" vote, but he failed in getting the message out there to the core voters. Could be interesting to look at how many people wouldn't vote for someone with a non-American name.
