Democratic donor backs Gorman endorsed 37th House candidate

Cook County Commissioner Liz Gorman insists Molly McAvoy Flynn is a great Republican candidate, who Gorman has talked to and in which Gorman has full confidence will be a great GOP challenger to 37th Dist. State Rep. Kevin McCarthy in 2010. McCarthy is a longtime Democrat state rep for Gorman's home district, and hasn't had a stiff Republican challenge in years. When asked in a recent interview, Gorman, who is Orland Township's GOP Committeeman, wasn't worried that Flynn didn't circulate her own nominating petitions, but rather only a couple of guys from Chicago's 19th Ward hit the streets on Flynn's behalf. Gorman pushed her township endorsement to Flynn and encouraged Worth Township to do the same. (IR interview with Gorman is below.)

But fellow 37th House GOP candidate Jeff Junkas isn't falling for what he sees as Gorman and Flynn's slick political tactics. This morning Junkas points out another strong Democratic link for Flynn -- a generous $2750 donation from RAI Services reported on a Flynn A1 this morning.

RAI Services, based in  North Carolina, recently made donations to other Cook County candidates--only they were all Democrats, except Flynn:
