I am willing to bet anyone that none of the Dems who believe Duckworth should be elected simply because of her wounded veteran status voted for Bob Dole in '96. This vote-for-her-because-she's-a-wounded-vet is a complete fraud. As are Duckworth's qualifications. People in Minnesota are ready to elect a Dem woman (Patty Wetterling) simply because her son was kidnapped and killed fifteen years ago. She's just another typical lib pol with no qualifications.
