Apparently Bob Dold is just that bad of a candidate that he’s not even close right now.
A new Democratic poll showed Democrat Dan Seals ahead of Republican Bob Dold by 13 points in the open-seat race to succeed GOP Rep. Mark Kirk. Seals led 46 percent to 38 percent in the poll taken for Seals’ campaign, a larger margin than a poll taken by the same firm in May found.
“We are encouraged by this recent poll because it means that voters trust Dan to provide independent leadership and fiscal responsibility,” Seals’ Communications Director Aviva Gibbs said in a release. “Dan will continue to focus on creating jobs and keeping taxes low, while ensuring that we protect our values and reduce the national debt in the years ahead.”
The Anzalone Liszt Research poll of 500 voters was conducted Aug. 30 to Sept. 2 and had a margin of error 4.4 points. It also showed Seals leading by 5 points among independents and earning 22 percent of voters who supported Kirk in 2008.
It’s the campaign’s poll and so all of the caveats apply to partisan polling. It’s also a bit old, but if anything the dynamic keeps getting worse for Dold. No Democrat should take anything for granted in a year like this, but Dold shows no sign of catching on.

SEIU has gone on the air against Bobby Schilling

Local Douchebag (meaning Saint Louis local) Adam Sharp shouts stupid questions at Member of Congress and wonders why she doesn’t take him seriously. Then he tries to act like he’s being assaulted as he did with Charles Jaco when Alex Armour lightly touches his arm.

The video claims they asked tough questions by asking where in the Constitution is a health care mandate allowed. Of course, that would be the commerce clause as has been settled law since the 1930s.
Sharp is a weird guy. He constantly harps that some conspiratorial group of liberals and Democrats are getting into Tea Party events and trying to make them look bad. He then shows up at events where SEIU has a presence in an SEIU jacket. He’s not very smart, but he is really good at annoying people.
“where in the Constitution is a health care mandate allowed”
I’m taking this question to be the so-called “mandate” that individuals must purchase health insurance.
My understanding is there is no legal requirement to have insurance. What will happen is an individual will pay a percentage of their income as tax if they don’t have insurance with the tax capped at somewhere around $600/yr. I liken this to a child “mandate” where if you don’t have children you pay more tax than if you did have children. Or a solar panel “mandate” where you pay more tax if you don’t install solar panels than if you did. Health insurance, children, and solar panel installations cost more than the tax savings so its up to the individual to make the decision.
Income tax is constitutionally allowed under the 16th Amendment.
Hey NUTSUCKER LOVER show me where in the Commerce Clause it states that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution DEMANDS I HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE. You can’t can you little NUTBAG LOVER. You NUTSUCKER, BAG LICKER’S are going to find we are feed up with you little pussy coward asses, NUTBAG LICKING, dope smoking, can’t shower, basement dwelling little COWARD’S. SEIU THUG’S? What an oxymoron. (S)PECIAL (E)D (I)DIOT’S are (U)S. Bash the face of any Union pussy that screws with YOU is my motto. You Procrap’s wanted a WAR and YOU got it. We will find you and destroy you as we destroy any THREAT to this GREAT COUNTRY.

OK, I’ll feed the troll…
It’s a good thing the proper use of apostrophes isn’t a Constitutional requirement, or you’d be in the federal pen.
Of course, as someone so obsessed with gay sex, you’d probably enjoy it. You’re a bottom, aren’t you…
