Part of an interesting comment found at the September 18th article I posted:
>A fact is a fact. The carpetbagger attack hurt Roskam badly in the 90's, even though he actually represented part of that district in the Illinois legislature. It hurt because Du Page voters actually like to have someone from their own community representing them. Ergo, Duckworth now has to suffer the trepidations of being a carpetbagger, as she surely lives outside the entire district and has ZERO background in terms of serving that community. Nothing will change that fact, NW, so whining about the consequences will do you, and Duckworth, no good.
Duckworth race depends upon her being the poster child of Liberal America, or else she would never have the money to run the race. Ergo, she has to appeal to the Rosie O'Donnell's of America. So the generous contributions from Rosie and assorted other usual liberal suspects across America defines what Duckworth is all about. NW, let's leave the argument about who "hates" America for another day, but it is plain to all that Rosie "Radical Christians are just as dangerous" O'Donnell, and her ilk, "hates" a certain segment of America, and that segment happens to be the likes of the majority of voters in the 6th District...White Suburban Republican voters. And 6th District Voters know it.
