"...he will be a formidable opponent in due time at this rate."
Sure, once he drops his pro-abortion stance, drops his affiliation with Cook County politics and quits pandering to special interests groups.
You're obviously not from Chicago nor anywhere in Illinois. He's being heralded by the MSM, that's all. Don't fall for the spin.
If the MSM can make algore and skerry contendas they can do it for Obama. Just one Perot in the race and it's over. (sigh) I would ask you how he got elected, but then I have have Hillary and Chuck so I won't.
