Well isn’t that “special”.
While I hope Tracy instead runs for Congress and wins I disagree that the scumbag Sullivan is so hard to beat and doesn’t deserve the utmost level of targeting just cause he beat Laura Kent Donahue, who hadn’t faced a competitive race in a long time. He must be defeated, a dent in this preposterous rat supermajority must be made.
His MOV over then Circuit Court Clerk of Adams County (and now State Rep, taking Tracy’s seat unopposed last year) Randy Frese in 2012, with Obama carrying the district, was solid but hardly Earth shattering. Tracy would be a stronger candidate running in a year where the rat at the top of the ticket probably won’t be doing as well as Obama did. Both House districts are Republican, Sullivan doesn’t belong there and needs to go. Rock Island county elected a Republican Senator last year, he can and should be beaten.
This being “Chinatown” I bet she takes Rauner’s offer (which was a shrewd one). I was hoping Schilling would run so she could take it and beat Sullivan without leaving us dicking around for an alternative to LaThug.
I wonder if LaThug Sr. had his friends in the Osama administration arrange this little investigation of our fruity friend Aaron. It all seems so convenient.
Unfortunately it looks like I was wrong about this open seat quickly evolving into a two person race. I hope it doesn’t end up like the last Florida U.S. Senate primary where every week we had a new “Connie Mack IV challenger” being floated. We need to rally around one non-LaThug candidate soon.
Latest person to express interest in opposing LaThug is ED Brady — Bill Brady’s younger brother:
LaThug Jr.'s rollout was so perfectly choreographed that this seems a likely possibility. He didn't even wait until the corpse was cold to kick off his campaign. I think LaThug Jr. announced his candidacy within hours of Schock holding his resignation press conference.
