A question out to the heartland. In all of the polling I have seen, I have not seen one listed for Speaker of Shame Dennis Hastert district. Is there a Democratic candidate running against him? Is anyone? Green party anyone running? If so is he/she in hailing distance? Has there been any talk of the Dems spending some money in that district in the last few weeks before the election?
Just the number of recent scandals from the Land deal to Foley to Abramoff, right down to his comments from yesterday that Democrats would gingerly pamper the terrorists who plan to destroy innocent Americans` lives" Screams for change. You would think that it would give people in the district pause to reconsider if this is the man who they want to represent them and yet I have not heard much about this race. Is this an opportunity that is being missed? The man will not resign, we know that. The seat will have to be taken from him.
I know it is not easy to knock off an incumbent and as Speaker, he has many resources at his disposal, legal and maybe illegal to be sure.. but I didn't know if there as any news on the race and what are the locals saying about their representative.
