Published July 10, 2004

ILLINOIS -- Dr. Andrea Grubb Barthwell resigned Friday as a deputy director in the Office of National Drug Control Policy, clearing the way for her to speak with leading Illinois Republicans about her interest in replacing Jack Ryan as the GOP's nominee for the U.S. Senate.

Illinois GOPers, please call the party leadership and let them know what you think: 312/201-9000

Thanks for the ping, dcw. I handed over the WOD ping list to Wolfie this week, as I have been way too busy to maintain it effectively. Ping him from now on if you want something to go out to the list.

I'll stop calling names when he does.

Until then, it seems as if someone should give him a tatste of his own medicine.
