Now this is from the Adam Andrzejewski camp's internals, but his polling shows he's within two points heading into Tuesday's primary, jumping from being about eight points back last week.
Our friend Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit breaks it down here.
Sources also are telling me that some of the state's Republican leadership has been making private phone calls this weekend to Adam, offering full support if he wins. Maybe they are doing that for all of the candidates though. I'm not sure about that.
This could be the sort of like a good old NASCAR race (back in the days when they really raced) with the front four cars banging on each other so much that they bite it in turn four and the fifth place car grabs the checkered flag.
Folks, there is between 15 and 20 percent of the GOP voters who are undecided among six candidates with less than 48 hours until the polls open. Anybody who thinks they know what is going to happen doesn't really know what is going to happen, but most of the journalists who I've talked to and who cover the state capitol are guessing Sen. Kirk Dillard will win come Tuesday.
But Adam A. has been getting a ton of play in the conservative online media, including the visit from former Polish leader Lech Walesa where Walesa endorsed Adam. Amazingly, most of the Chicago mainstream media blew off a visit by one of the men who was key in ridding Communism from Eastern Europe.
At the final gubernatorial debate, the other candidates trained their guns on Adam. During Dillard's visit to Quincy, he said governor is not an entry-level job, which was a shot at Adam and Dan Proft, the two conservatives who can call themselves outsiders without blushing. A source told me Dillard's internals show him to be in "good shape", but offered no other details.
Bill Brady's campaign is doing the same thing. From the Brady camp: "There are 3 Chicago-style insiders: Ryan, McKenna and Dillard. There are 2 candidates with many of the same positions as Bill but who are too untested and inexperienced: Adam and Dan. And then there is one...Bill Brady's campaign is about making lives better for Illinois families and giving Illinois citizens back their government. Tea Party values. It's about a clean break from the past, not about the status quo."
Seems like everybody is after that Tea Party vote these days.
On Tuesday, we'll see if Illinois is ready to support yet another guy with a funny name for governor while hoping for better results this time around.
