Thanks. Happilly it’s safe seat for the GOP.

Obama did become the first rat President to carry it in forever but Manzullo is in no danger from this jerk.

Obama did become the first rat President to carry it in forever but Manzullo is in no danger from this jerk.

Are you sure Obama carried the district? If you look at the map there are two red counties in a sea of blue in northern IL: Winnebago and Ogle. Most of Manzullo's district is in Winnebago County, the overwhelming number of voters are in that area.

[Dr. Sivana]

Never mind. You’re right. I suspect Crystal Lake and maybe Belvidere did us in.

“Canon 915, one of the canons of the current Code of Canon Law, forbids the administration of Holy Communion to those upon whom the penalty of excommunication or interdict[1] has been imposed or declared or who persist in manifest grave sin.” Manifest and persistent support for abortion to any degree means excommunication.

And that’s Ogle and Lee that went for McCain. Winnebago was 55% for Obummer.

I don’t think Franklin Roosevelt even carried that district. It’s only had 1 dem congressman (elected in 1990 over a Republican with problems and defeated by Manzullo 2 years later) in modern times.

The pro-abort Chicago archdiocese is seeping into the adjacent archdiocese of Rockford it appears.

The list of Catholic religous in political office is quite large. My friend Sister Marcy Kaptur of the Alinsky/Egan wing left Chicago Archdiocese to be a congressperson from Ohio.

St Hubert’s Deacon Fred Crespo is a State Rep.

I suppose the list could get quite long.

That’s not what I meant.

The Black Pope, as in the Spanish version.

[Mr. Silverback]

Sorry, no habla. Can you elaborate?

[Mr. Silverback]

He’ll lose. I posted his campaign funding levels upthread...he’s only raised $65,000 compared to $731,000 for the Republican. In 2008, the Dem raised over $500,000.

[Mr. Silverback]

I know Obama carried Stephenson County handily. That said, I think it means little. Like many other districts, we saw a ton of first-time or first-time-in-a-long-time voters who were voting for "The One." Most of those folks won't show this time and the remainder will tend to break GOP.

And that's before we factor in that Manzullo won going away in '08, or factor in the fact that he has outraised Gaulrapp over ten to one.

[Dr. Sivana]

And that’s Ogle and Lee that went for McCain.

I live in Ogle. Did at least Rockford go McCain? I seem to recall Ogle was not alone (and I didn't think of Lee)

[Impy]

Rockford (the city proper has about 25% of the voters in the district) with it’s black minority turning out in elevated numbers is obviously the reason why Obama carried Winnebago county.

Nice Presidential atlas with the country breakdown (I don’t have the city numbers but Rockford must have voted Obama by a greater margin that the rest of the county, McCain may have even won the rest of the county)

Note that site uses blue for Republican and red for the commies.

They’re another segment of the Vatican which Pope JP tried to abolish in ‘86.

[Mr. Silverback]

No, he’s a garden variety RC. Goes to a church here in twon that has an excellent prolife pastor.

[Mr. Silverback]

No, he’s a garden variety RC. Goes to a church in Freeport that has an excellent prolife pastor.

[bayouranger]

Ok, that’s great to know but I always watch to see where they “are” in the Church.

I’m a RoCat myself & it’s our church.

[Impy]

I agree. Manzullo hasn’t had a touch race since his first one. He is in no danger.

And that is district is still Republican despite being carried by democrats who win statewide landslides (that’s the only time they carry it).

[Impy]

Touch=tough

That is if you consider winning by 11 over a single term fluke democrat to be tough. ;d
