He probably would only have a chance if Janice was caught with a live girl or a dead boy.
I agree with Phil that state leg is his best bet to win office in the future.
If Joel loses, who should run for that seat, in 2012? Because of the census, Illinois will probably lose a seat, and the district will be larger. I think that State Rep. Beth Coulson will probably run. If Rep. Schakowsky decides to retire, which Democrat would run? I think that State Sen. Jeffery Schoenberg would run.
