IL-06: Casten vs. Newman?

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Newman is one of the Hamas Nine, so I'm hoping to see powerhouse groups jump into this race to ensure she loses her seat. Too many of the others are probably safe, but setting an example is essential.

Suddenly I'm a huge Sean Casten fan

Weren't you the one that claimed that Lipinski was an amazing fit for his district? Apparently he wasn't.

Damn right I was. He was a better fit than a far-left Justice Dem who outspent him 2 to 1 with special interest money pouring in from out-of-district, endorsements from multiple local members of Congress and four Presidential candidates, etc.

"Far left" in this case meaning not being a homophobe?

I think if we try really hard, we can find a candidate who supports a woman's right to choose, gay people's right to marry and be treated like any other citizen, and also opposes Jewish children having rockets shot at them.

Hey, I wonder about this Sean Casten guy.

So this race might have ended before it began.

I've never been a fan of Newman, so hopefully Casten defeats her in the primary.

Seems likely she might not even make it to the primary now.

She was essentially carpetbagging after being drawn into Garcia's district anyway, so this just puts the nail in that coffin.

Unless she actually gets charged with something before the primary, this is nbd.

Whether it turns out to be anything criminal or worthy of action from Congress, this basically ensures the endorsements in that district will be roughly 210-10. So that in and of itself is fairly significant.
