The next great hope from Illinois?
Barack Obama? No. Dick Durbin? Nope. To find out more about an Illinois Democrat who can help rebuild the party, click here.
I think it's very ironic when the Republicons complain about the prospect of a Democrat playing the same games that they do.
Also, FWIW, I'm troubled by this quote in the article from Tim Johnson, my former neighbor (and a beneficiary of nascent Republican redistricting):
---------------------------------------------------------
"I consider myself a good friend of Congressman Emanuel," said U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson (R-Ill.), who recently started a Center Aisle Caucus dedicated to reducing excessive partisanship. "I clearly think there's a partisan side to him, but he cares about issues."
------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to take this opportunity to point out that Tim Johnson is (or was) a successful plaintiffs' attorney who flip flopped on tort reform when the pressure came down. This is all part of a larger portrait of this man (and I still can't believe that this man is a member of the House of Representatives) and how he will slither and slide any way he needs to in order to advance his political ambitions. I have to say that I like his kids and his ex-wife, but at the same time, in all of my interactions with Tim Johnson, I have always come away feeling dirty for having been in the man's presence.
