I wouldn't consider his seat to be safe by any stretch of the imagination. If we can elect Peter Fitzgerald, by FAR amongst the most conservative candidates to run for an elected office voted on all across this state and DUMP Carol Mostly-Fraud (which many of us ILL Freepers worked very hard to do), we can un-elect Tricky Dick Durbin and get a good replacement elected. The key to this, of course, is to find a good candidate to run against him.
It would be terrific to have him gone.
I consider that an understatement. Dick Durbin, as shown by his actions, apparently has studied the Clintonista Playbook and knows how to fence-sit and triangulate with the best of them. But I find it interesting that the hard-core Democrats in this article are onto that, which I find very hopeful.
