The Republicans are whistling past the graveyard if they think this is an issue which won't come back to haunt them in November. It's already cost them my vote in the IL Gubernatorial race, and it may cost them my votes in 2008.

I'm seeing the same thing from the liberals that I know. Better yet, they are blaming government as a whole.
I am from IL also and it a terrible feeling to know that my
senators are so out of touch with the people. I am considering a move to Missouri to save on taxes and not be ashamed anymore. Everytime people ask me to write my congressman or senator, it would be a waste of time.
