IL-3 Dem Primary: Election Day!

[Donerail]

Preckwinkle is good, actually -- more importantly, she's another vaguely establishment-aligned IL Dem figure throwing their weight behind Newman. Suggests nobody, at least in the regular Democratic orgs, will be swooping in at the last second to save Lipinski

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I love the candidate interview with Lipinski and Newman, and Newman was railing on about how King Dan does not support the fight for 15, and at the end of that who knows what induced tirade, he was like, well I wonder if she paid all her employees at least 15 an hour, and that bruja just spun and started babbling about something else.

Of course you had to do that.

Beautiful!  I wonder how many votes Raul Grijalva will sway.

Lol, that's such a desperation ad.

It's a decent ad. Well, it would be a decent ad, if it weren't such a blatant misrepresentation of reality. Progressives in general are much more stalwart in their defense of social programs and in their attacks on Washington special interest groups than Lipinski has ever been.

Though I do suppose that this primary challenge is a net positive because, no matter what happens, Lipinski is likely to tack further to the left (hell, he's already trying to out-flank Newman in this ad).

Seriously, Lipinski looks like a registered sex offender.

[Bidenworth2020]

This reminds me of one of the things that made me very mad about Obama. Someone undermines your legacy, doesn't even say he'll vote for Obama in 2012, yet Obama is acting like it is no big deal. I really hope Obama musters up the courage to endorse Newman and not let Lipinski get away with being a republican lite, especially in a safe district that Obama probably has a 70% approval in. Not saying Newman is perfect, but I am confident that she wouldn't have voted against Obamacare and would have voted for him. If Lipinski gets away with all of this, I may need to re-evaluate my membership of the democratic party, because this is unacceptable.

anyone here sort of upset at the lack of decorum? You're not supposed to endorse primary challenges to a fellow house member. Especially not someone who is from the same state delegation.

I think these clowns have underestimated the strength of the madigan machine.

Who says you're not 'supposed' to do that?

Such a strong and positive ad. Really the most - or one of the most - honorable men to come out of Chicago in the history of the western world.

Lipinski, please save the soul of the Democratic Party. It might just be my drunk irish half talking on st. Patrick’s day but I miss the gritty old Dems

This is ironic in the context of your signature, because Bernie Sanders is literally a "gritty old Dem"

Nah he’s a communist SJW. I’m talking bout the good old Boston Irish working class dudes the Dems used to be. Or at least around here. Like the Dems that werent socialist/SJW. All we got left is Lynch and Lipinski left. The good old urban working class moderate Dems

I was unaware being a Congressman’s son who went to the best universities because of his connections made such a compelling working class Democrat.

He’s not working class himself but he carried on his dads legacy. Which I respect. I’m the end don’t we all end up turning into our dads clones

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Lipinski literally got where he is today because of family connections and his papa.

Someone lile Richard Ojeda is a working class dem. Lipinski is just a loser.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Also, I love how you said you loved Irish (white) and dudes (male). I wonder why...

Well I’m an Irish-Portuguese Guy from New England. Obviously I’d vote for a dude whose a similar upbringing. Until I went to college I was a reliable Lynch voter.

Almost zero juice to the Lipinski going into the last weekend:

Houses members are supposed to endorse their party’s presidential nominee.

Especially when the presidential nominee is literally from that city.
