"So says a Kossak rumor:

"Gonna have to trust me on this, but I have fantastic information that Weller R-IL (11th District) is the next one coming down in the page scandal. Can't reveal source. " "

6. all this shows the wisdom of the 50 state strategy

if the vote counts mean anything, there are gonna be a few accidental congressmen out there come nov 8. lots of folks that the party said, sure, knock yourself out there pal. run. you don't have a snowballs chance. we don't care what kind of candidate you are. if the party was taking care to organize all districts, and put up a decent candidate in all districts, we would be looking forward to a bunch of great new dems. but i know around here there are a couple of these sacrificial lambs that are not going to make great legislators.
it's not like you had to be carnak the magnificent to see that this regime could implode. but, better late than never.
