(Uh oh, long post. ;))

Unfortunately some GOP congressmen tried to pull the similar crap as Jones if I remember correctly, dropping out after it’s to late tp have to a primary.

Goodness gracious! I totality missed that race being close. Wardingly is a clown (literally he dresses as a clown for charity and the media when they choose to mention him make fun of him for it)

The seat is can’t be all black, Robert Rita isn’t and he holds one it’s 2 state house seats but still that’s nothing short of stunning. We must be talking 30’s when Chicago blacks started being rats since that area has had a Republican Senator.

Just another reason to feel sick about the totally incompetent GOP leadership. Did they bother to even commission a poll to give themselves an idea if there was a chance? Doubt it. UHHHHHG.

Ill Dems have been wildly aggressive and successful in winning state Senate Seats. Even with a rat map on paper we could have 29 or 30 seats. (With the 30th most likely being that longtime rat Vic Demuzio’s widow, she’s not likely to lose and I think next on the list would be Debbie Halverson’s seat). Down in Southern Illinois where Obama lost, the rats have held the 59th Senate seat since ‘74 I think and won it again 52-48 in November as Obama was losing it. And they held both house seats as well. We gained one Senate seat from them since 2002 in ‘04. And lost 5 in 06 (and one in an upset in 02).

Now this is Illinois I’m not writing off Blago 100% but his approval is so low....he should lose the primary (and would lose the general to a non-RINO scumsucker.....) Quinn wants it. I’d take him over Blago or Madigan any day. Frankly he’s better than Topinka and her RINO combine ilk on corruption. Of course he lacks a natural constituency for the primary since “decent folk who care about good government” are a minority in the party.

I think (hope) Blago needs Obama to stay out of jail more than win reelection.

My very first thought like in May was that should Obama win he would appoint Lisa Madigan. After the election I figured Jesse White would be an ideal “placeholder” should he go that route. I surprised he is not being talked up.

Jones is almost as old as White but he really seems like he actually would run. And why not. Ancient Senators of both parties will run for reelection in 2010. Guys older than him!!

I hope Jagoff Jr. gets it. I don’t see that name having an easy time in Novemeber 2010. Maybe I’m wrong and yes Harold Ford Jr. almost won in Tennessee but...

Jones if he was running would be awesome.

I’d be surprised in he doesn’t pick a black candidate at this point. Though Duckworth, maybe. Yup she’s indeed a “creation” like Obama. Vomit.

Davis from Arkansas (jeez none of the Chicago black Congressman are from Chicago!)

“As the 15th most prolific traveler in Congress, he stirred up controversy by accepting a trip to Sri Lanka in 2005 on behalf of the Tamil minority there, paid for by the Tamil Tigers, a group that the U.S. government has designated as a terrorist organization for its use of suicide bombers and child soldiers. Davis said that he was unaware that the Tigers were the source of the trip’s funding.”

I hope Kirk never runs for higher office. I’m shocked he won at all let alone easily. Gordon Smith lost trying to imply he was endorsed by Wyden and Obama (and because of the Constitution party but given how ran his campaign it’s no shock they did so well).

I thought Seals only lost 2 races. What a loser! An Obama Clone who couldn’t convince white liberals not to split their tickets.

One further note. My Rep. Luis Gutierrez. Doctrinaire leftist and open borders King.

looks like he’s running for something I know he wants to, maybe Mayor (LOL) but it wouldn’t shock me if he ran for Senate if their was a placeholder, his dream job is President of an Independent Puerto Rico.

There’s a factory on Goose Island where some workers are having a “sit in” as you all probably know. I didn’t know the Island was in his district but I guess it must be. He’s having my Alderman and his toadie Billy “Future Congressman?” Ocasio pass out gifts and food whist making sure everyone knows they are from the Congressman. Why don’t you try to help your own ward out Billy? How about a coaxing them to open a damn Jewel or Domincks anywhere near here? It’s not like me or any of the legion of children around here need to eat or anything right?
