Chez Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Winston: My wife and I have attended countless events in the last year to vote out Roskam.. Especially my wife. She actually had a sit-down with him and he made the mistake of man-splaining to her (she's a law professor). She's kind of lost her mind over this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I am happy with my US Rep - Robin Kelly. I am looking forward to see the outcome of the Dan Lipinski /Maria Newman primary result. Many in our local group have been campaigning hard for Newman. The race definitely seems to have gotten a lot of national press. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Wow - Rauner must have been nervous last night. So we get Pritzker. Yuck. At least he wants to legalize. He's cronies with Madigan, so I can't imagine that will do good for the state budget. Hopefully Casten can defeat Roskam, but I'm not hopeful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Oh yeah, another result from Illinois... A holocaust denier ran unopposed in the GOP primary in the 3rd House district. (3rd House district has been held by anti-abortion Dem Dan Lipinski since 2005, and his predecessor was his own father, who held it since 1993). Fucking Illinois Nazis Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(3rd House district has been held by anti-abortion Dem Dan Lipinski since 2005, and his predecessor was his own father, who held it since 1993). Yeah plus below is how he got in by the below - gotta love with Cook County/Illinois political nepotism. As stated before, our local group was campaigning heavily for Newman -- must admit though she is not handling the loss very well - from a political standpoint, she is coming off a very bitter. She gets another chance in 2 years and she is already galvanizing his supporters... In 2004, Lipinski's father ran for re-nomination in the Democratic primary. After easily winning the nomination, the elder Lipinski announced his retirement. As the Democratic committeeman for Chicago's 23rd Ward—which is virtually coextensive with the Chicago portion of the 3rd—he was able to persuade the state Democratic Party to select his son to replace him on the ballot. The move was somewhat controversial; not only had the younger Lipinski not lived regularly in Illinois since 1989 and never run for elected office before, but it allowed him to sidestep the Democratic primary—the real contest in this heavily Democratic district.

lost highway Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Wow, it's been weeks since anyone has posted here, clearly not for lack of news, so I'm assuming it's outrage exhaustion. But good lord, the no-knock raid by the Feds on Trump's lawyer MIchael Cohn is a SPECTACULAR piece of political theater. I can almost guarantee (along with Manafort) it will be staged in a film one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like Rosenstein might be next instead. Edit: but I suppose that's just a way to get to Mueller since Rosenstein doesn't seem that psyched about firing him, and he's kind of the only person who can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
