He signed Tom Cotton's letter to the Clerics in Iran.

Mark Kirk is dishonorable in all ways.

in my local paper:

GOP leaders rally around Kirk

I think he is vulnerable. He did no work for a very long time while he recovered from his stroke. I think his stroke affected his mental abilities, which may account for some of his wild statements.

It is time to get rid of this repubbie posing as a moderate. We need Tammy Duckworth. She is amazing!

for the long-term unemployed...but...he collected a nice paycheck for doing no work while recovering from his stroke. Really?? There are many things in his record that bother me.

We definitely need Tammy!

If I lived in IL I would be out and about campaigning for her.

She is a very class act. She has the distinct advantage of having rolled 18 on intelligence, wisdom, charisma, strength, and constitution. Plus, a double saving throw. Which is helpful. (Geek reference!)

I R& all Duckworth posts.
