From Andrew Brietbart's BIG GOVERNMENT

As the clock winds down on the Illinois Governor’s race, the question on everyone’s mind is whether a newcomer like me, running on robust policy and an American success story, can beat a gaggle of Country Club Republicans and also-rans.

I’m Adam Andrzejewski, the entrepreneur who grew up in central Illinois, worked hard, and ended up successful enough to retire at age 37. Instead of hanging out the beach while managing my portfolio, I started up a non-profit focusing on transparency, and quickly got over $1 billion of public spending placed on-line.  That kind of ‘Every Dime on Line, in Real Time” transparency, coupled with my aggressive ethics reform modeled after those passed in Louisiana by Bobby Jindal, are the foundation of my policy agenda to reform Illinois.

The question is, can I  pull this off?  I was written off early by the cynical and jaundiced political press, but I perservered through months of Lincoln Day Dinners, radio interviews, and candidate forums, all of which were fantastic opportunities to meet the people of Illinois.  I noticed something interesting every time I was out on the campaign trail.  When people saw me and heard my message they liked what they heard – a lot.  No matter how much money was dumped into the campaign by the connected donors financing the other 5 establishment candidates, I was always within striking distance.

Then, just in the last 2 weeks, our campaign started to capture the imagination.  With just over one week to go, it was announced that Lech Walesa was coming to Chicago to endorse me.  That set off a firestorm of press coverage and interest in the blogosphere.  Now, the level of national interest has brought in a flood of small donations and volunteers from around the country.  As you read this, people from across the country have offered to log in to call centers and send e-mails, all to assist the my Campaign.

All of this is culminating in the potential for a big upset.  Here, in the last hours of this campaign, both Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh have mentioned this campaign here in Illinois.  This may be the next potential “Scott Brown” upset.  With your help, I can pull off that upset.  But I know that no matter what the outcome of this race might be, a great and powerful spirit has been awakened in the souls of Americans and Illinoisians. I will continue to kindle that spirit in every avenue of my life.  I hope that you will help me.
