On the dark side, Dickie “Scumbag” Durbin won.
Yeah, I hate that Dirtbin won, but the IL GOP needs to fins someone other than Oberweis, who is becoming a Perennial Candidate no matter how many zeros he can write on a check.
I’m in IL-17, probably the worst example of gerrymandering in the nation, constructed at Durbin’s specific request (demand) linking a wide swath of rural IL with the most Democrat areas of Rockford, Peoria, and the Quad Cities so that Cheri Bustos could win it. Bobby Schilling is a good man and ran a good race, but he got trounced by the demographics. It’s time for the IL GOP to realize we need to fight fire with fire and nurture some young black, Hispanic, or female conservatives to take Bustos out in two years.
National repudiation of dem policies and Durban pulls off 54% of the vote, that's Chicago politics for ya.
Dirt-bin didn't win, he never wins but he still stays in office.
