My state of Illinois is lost.
Did you see this: A woman soldier named Duckworth who lost both legs in Iraq in a helicopter crash, was approached by Durbin to run for the House as a democrat. Durbin has called our soldiers murderers and likened them to Hitler and PolPot. Did she spit in his face? Nope. Ms. Duckworth looked him straight in the eye and said "ok, Mr. Durbin". There are heroes and then there are not.
Turban and Osama. Now, there's a team! Yikes!
Illinois is just too corrupted from Chicago and all the corrupt Daily types have done to it. Wisconsin has the potantial to turn red though, if you're not too far from there, that migration might bee worth it. :) A strong Conservative migration from Illinois to Winconsin could have a huge impact. :) But you're still welcome in Texas. I have BBQ for you. ;)
