This should be posted under "Who Cares?" Mel Reynolds has no chance of returning to Congress. He embarrassed his supporters once before, and they will not be back for more. No matter what he says or does, he will always be a has-been.

My brother lives in the 2nd IL Cong. District and contends that if you replaced Junior Jesse with Mel tomorrow, you wouldn't notice the difference.

He embarassed his constituents? Since when did that prevent a politician from coming back. Does the name Alysee Hastings ring a bell? The Florida judge who was impeached? Who was elected to congress and still is paid a princely sum by all taxpayers?

At risk of being called a racist, but being too old for it to really matter,history has shown us that the safest congressional seats are in black districts.

I suspect that trend will change, but not in my lifetime.
