(CHICAGO)(January 20, 2010) “Illinois Tough” Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Wednesday, January 20th seeking to “nationalize” the Illinois U. S. Senate primary and capitalize on the “Massachusetts Message.”
“We are working all night to produce new advertising on Wednesday that will carry forward Scott Brown’s ‘Massachusetts Message,’” Martin says. “We are tailoring the anti-Obama advertising to a more conservative Illinois Republican primary electorate.
“Our studies of the WLS-TV Channel 7 debate found that Republican voters appreciated my ‘tough’ message. They saw a fighter on TV, not a patsy for liberal media hatchet-men. Our new campaign slogan: ‘Illinois Tough.’
“Without getting into all of our psychographic analysis, we have seen a palpable change on the campaign trail: the more the leftist media attack me, the warmer the Republican Party response. The more the Chicago Republican Party establishment attacks me and supports my opponent, the stronger I become.
“Tuesday evening we received an extraordinarily warm welcome from Winnebago County Republicans. Downstate Republicans know I do my best to attend every downstate function I can. I am the ‘downstate’ Republican candidate for United States Senator.
“The dynamics of the U. S. Senate primary have shifted radically since the WLS-TV debate. One candidate who boycotted the debate lost ground. One candidate who appeared was discredited. As we enter the final days of the campaign, all of my rivals are losing ground. We are gaining.
“In Washington I will partner with Senator Scott Brown to stop the Obama agenda. Republicans want progress. Republicans want reform. I am a reformer and a corruption fighter. But we oppose Barack Obama’s radical agenda: cap and trade taxes, higher income taxes, abortion, gun control, Internet restrictions and a myriad of other extreme proposals Obama is trying to force on the American people. ‘National security’ has become an oxymoron under Obama.
“Illinois Republicans are realizing I have been Barack Obama’s most formidable opponent since my appearance on Sean Hannity’s show in 2008 (got to www.AndyforUSSenator.com to see the 2008 video). They sense that Obama is scared of me. They can see I am not afraid of Obama. My ‘secret weapon’ is the biased liberal media that attack me and distort my campaign. Republicans love that I fight back.
“Wednesday we are producing a new ‘national’ advertising campaign. Friday we start airing the campaign across the State of Illinois. February 2nd I will stage an upset victory, win the U. S. Senate nomination and turn politics in this country upside-down. I made this promise on December 28th and step-by-step we are implementing the plan.
“We have an organized and disciplined campaign strategy to win the Republican Party nomination and stun the corrupt Republican Party establishment in Illinois,” Martin says. “My primary campaign will now morph into a ‘national’ campaign to join Senator-elect Scott Brown in defeating the Obama agenda.
“Because we have our own in-house advertising agency, we can react literally overnight. Wednesday we produce; Friday we air.”
