OK...so...could one of you guys explain why we SHOULDN'T think it sucks that Schneider won?

[Ken Burch]

Really need to understand why anybody in the Illinois 10th would think it was cool to nominate a candidate who attacks MoveOn from the right and donates to Republicans.

Or why Ilya had to be stopped at all costs.

1. Sorry! I was hoping for Ilya.

That sucks.

[Ken Burch]

2. The thread wasn't aimed at you.

I know the good people there are bummed tonight.

3. i did`t have anyone to vote for....

there were no democrats running where i live. living in the 16th where manzulo is the illinois teaparty fav and kinzinger is a center right republican. nothing on the local level either.

the worse thing is man on dog visited and humped the reagan on the horse statue....nah i`m kidding

[Ken Burch]

4. Sorry for the dismal situation in your area.

n/t.

5. I can't...I'm stuck in Dupage, home of the mega-church, the mega-rich, and the mega-gop

...in other words, my little corner of hell...My "representative" does have the perfect republican name though, Judy Biggert....

7. Actually, I worked for Tammy Duckworth and

with the re-districting, quite a few parts of Dupage are in her 8th District.

9. Actually there is hope for you.

Biggert in the 11th is now running against Bill Foster (from the old 14th). Foster has a good chance I think. In the new 6th I now am with the Republicans from DuPage, Kane, McHenry and I think even a little Cook.

10. There's Bill Foster - who will run against Judy Biggert in the general election

He has a very good chance of defeating her.

6. I don't get it either...

...but they haven't learned their Melissa Bean lesson either...you can't run as a Dem but vote with the republicans, they'll just vote your ass out, and replace you with a REAL republican...

Glad that Tammy Duckworth gets to go up against the dead-beat dad Joe Walsh....I can see the ads now "Tammy Duckworth gave up her legs for her country, Joe Walsh won't even pay child-support for his own kids, who do YOU think will have your back in Washington D.C.?"

I'd LOVE to see that ad!!!

[whathehell]

8. It does suck...All I can say is that Ilya

is quite young and will have more chances.
