“Solidly” rat is not the right way to describe that district.
Suckworthless won by 10 points over the weak incumbent in 2012, a smaller margin than I anticipated. In 2014 she won by 12 points over a broke nobody who upset the parties’ favored choice, a rich Indian lady, who imploded (I forget why, something bizarre) during the primary.
Only 41% Romney but Obama ran ahead of normal rat %s. I assume Rauner carried the district.
We should have a legitimate shot, but it’s lean rat at least.
I’m the campaign manager of Peter’s primary opponent, Andrew Straw, a conservative who has been campaigning since June. Andrew is pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-illegal alien. He wants to cut the fed. income tax rates and implement a national sales tax. Please read his site, www.strawforcongress.com.
