IL-Sen. 2016 Thread: Duckworth nearly triples Kirk Q2 fundraising

[Ebsy]

Duckworth winning would be very, very bad for Kirk.

I think people are underestimating how much the media adores Duckworth. Normally the St. Louis media market(which covers much of Southern Illinois in sort of an afterthought), only pays tangential attention to Illinois politics, but they were all over Duckworth in 2012, despite the fact that her seat is nowhere near the viewing area for our local affiliates. The Post-Dispatch and the local broadcasters are going to work themselves into a frenzy over Duckworth.

Someone credible needs to poll this race.

Do you think Bustos would make a good choice to challenge Rauner in 2018?

So far, so much for Kirk being doomed.

Harris or Zopp will be my preferred choice over Duckworth.

Endorsing Duckworth.

Mark Kirk claims about Nelson Mandela and South Africa's Nuclear Program

I thought all the nukes were dismantled in 1989.

It's only in this modern era that people take personal affront when politicians of the other party campaign for, you know, people of their party, and then that somehow means that after the election is over, both sides can't come together and have a working relationship.
