While the Illinois GOP hillariously tries to
draft Mike Ditka into the Senate race, Barack Obama effectively sealed his election by raising a
solid $4 million in a single quarter.
It's clear that Obama will have whatever resources are necessary to wage his battle, and it should ensure that no legitimate Republican will step to the plate to serve as the GOP's sacrificial lamb.
Update: Oops. It looks like Ditka is being drafted to head the Illinois Republican Party. That's probably even lamer than trying to get him in the Senate race. The Senate race is still hostile territory for any GOoPer willing to enter the fray.
