Illinois 2010 Elections–Republican Primary Governor: Jim Ryan Trounced in Milton Township Republican Straw Poll

(Chicago, IL) — November 10, 2009. DuPage County Chairman Bob Schillerstrom won the Milton Township Republican Organization 2010 Straw Poll for Governor about 10 days ago, beating DuPage County State Senator Kirk Dillard, 142-37.

And after stating at a recent GOP debate that global-warming is not man-made, Schillerstrom will also likely lock up the Flat Earth Society endorsement, too.

But the real news from the Milton GOP straw poll was that former Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan–who jumped into the Illinois 2010 Republican primary for governor a week-ago–got trounced.

Milton Township GOP Straw Poll–Candidate Vote Total:

• Bob Schillerstrom 142
• Kirk Dillard 37
• Adam Andrzejewski 36
• Bill Brady 27
• Jim Ryan 13
• Dan Proft 6
• Andy McKenna 2

Ryan got into the race virtually boasting he was going to be the 800-pound guerilla in race, releasing a poll memo that had him beating State Senator Bill Brady (R-Bloomington) by a meager 26-10, and leaving the others in the poll’s single-digit dungeon.

The Milton Township Republicans apparently didn’t get the memo.

Ryan has got some work to do.
