A Republican shines in special Illy election to fill Jesse Jackson, Jr.'s seat

From Eric Dondero:

16 candidates total. 14 of the 16 are Democrats, with one Green Party candidate on the ballot. And then there's Republican Paul McKinley.

Meet Paul, (from his Facebook page):

It's time to take on the Chicago Machine and restore family values, respect for the Constitution, and prosperity to our 2nd district.

In fairness, there are other GOP candidates running. Here's a great video just released, the Chicago Republican Party hosted a debate of a number of the candidates. Interestingly, they are all African-Americans.
