What does Jesse Jackson Jr, Danny Davis, Emil Jones, and Roland Burris have in common?

I wonder how people are going to connect the dots on this one. I have a clue. Damn Harry, whats up?

1. They're descended from angels who didn't fight against Satan

in the big battle?



I give.

3. Four black Illinois polititicians that are unacceptible to Harry Reid.

6. I wonder how Reid's attitude on THAT will strike Obama . . . ???

I think it's crappy --

7. Or just plain lazy, right?

2. They cannot win a state wide election.

4. Emil Jones is deeply hated 'round these parts.

I doubt the other two Chicago guys could win downstate, either. But Jones wouldn't stand a chance.

5. People said Obama could not win because he was black also. I guess Harry is a psychic.

Believe me, this is not going to go over very well.

8. Ding ding ding...

9. BZZT

Wrong.

Reid doesn't know who could win in Illinois. Besides, it's not up to him, it's up to the voters. Illinois is a DEM state.

11. Reid need to worry about his own damn seat

and keeping his position.

10. They aren't in my kitchen?

[Critters2]

12. So that's two things! nt

13. Just curious...besides MyCritters2, of those who have replied, who are from IL?

The bad thing for Burris is Blago has appointed him, and one of other posters who pointed out these four probably couldn't win re-election is probably on the money.

This is not a race issue, though many not from Illinois are apparently trying to turn it into one.

This whole experience has been a huge eye opener when it comes to the lack of understanding when it comes to state politics. To further illustrate, almost any one from Illinois who follows politics was never worried about Obama getting caught up in Blago's problems - we all knew of the lack of relationship between these two.
