CQ Daily Briefing – Monday, March 19
TRAIL TIPS: (Illinois) The closing momentum looks to be with Don Manzullo in the year’s first redistricting-made GOP primary between two sitting congressmen. If the former Small Business Committee chairman defeats freshman Adam Kinzinger tomorrow in a solidly Republican district that wraps around the outer edges of the Chicago metro area, it will be a significant upset — a victory for age (Manzullo is 67, Kinzinger 34) and insider experience at a time when House Republicans have been looking to remake themselves as the party of the fresh-faced and anti-establishment. The problem for Kinzinger, it appears, is that Cantor and other leaders in the caucus have been so eager to help one of their fair-haired tea party heros (a big radio Super PAC ad buy over the weekend included) that they’ve made him look like the insider — and allowed Manzullo to position himself for his 11th term as the candidate less beholden to the party bosses at the Capitol.
