Are you fucking kidding me? The DuPage Democratic Party thinks it’s in a position of strength?

An actual Democrat gets in the race–and Kos covers it. DCCC isn’t the worry–Madigan is. He’s the guy who has the ground troops to hold it and Pera or anyone else will have to figure out how to mobilize voters–it’s a good District for a Dem–Kerry carried it with 59 percent of the vote. I […]

HACKS, KOOKS & THE MERELY CLUELESS LINE UP TO TAKE ON JOHN LAESCH IN ILLINOIS’ 14TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT Seriously, is anyone getting in that race actually taking on John Laesch?

Apparently we are ruled by a giant child. And let me make clear, I think the GRT was a good idea and the health care plan was generally doable from a policy sense, though the politics were bad. I’d still argue the GRT is the best solution available–I would argue that an income tax change […]
