So awesome:

“Mr. Martin will no longer be recognized as a legitimate Republican
candidate by the Illinois Republican Party,” state party chairman
Patrick Brady said in a statement.

You mean he was recognized as such up til now? I guess this wasn’t enough:

“In federal court filings from the 1980s related to bankruptcy
proceedings against him, Martin called one federal judge a ‘crooked,
slimy Jew, who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of
his race.’ He also expressed sympathy to the perpetrators of the
Holocaust.”

Then again, he did receive 34 percent of the Republican vote in his U.S. Senate primary campaign against Steve Sauerberg –in 2008.

I really love this state a lot.
