Former Congressman Mel Reynolds, who resigned in disgrace from the Illinois 2nd Congressional District after being convicted of having sex with an underage campaign worker, wants his old seat back.
Reynolds announced at a press conference on Wednesday that he would join the avalanche of Democrat candidates jumping in line for a chance at picking up the coveted 2nd district seat, now vacated by Jesse Jackson Jr., in the upcoming special election.

In that District, he will probably win.
Compared with his Democrat peers in Chicago, a man with only a sex offender record has a spotlessly clean criminal record.
But is that enough? Now, all someone needs to do to beat Mel is to be a sex offender, an arsonist, a serial murderer and a train robber and they win.
At least he’s been vetted..
Drop the probably, he WILL win. No doubt about it.
Depraved people vote for depraved people.
The fact he even has backers to even run says it all.
He certainly has the right creditentials to be a success in the Democrat party.
The sad thing is....you can’t even find a retired military NCO or officer, even if they were a Democrat....to run. You end up with people who cannot be trusted in public office. I think a topless dancer from the district....probably has a better than average chance of winning.
Chicago values. Puting Cons in Congress for over 150 years.
Sounds like he agrees with Obama’s tax policy. Screw the younger generation.
Superduper! The Chicago Mob/”D party machine” is giving us an Improvement over JJJ! Maybe they figure he’ll fit right in with all the sex perverts, liars, and thieves in WashDC?
Well, that’s a step up the food chain of honorable politicians (assuming there is such a food chain).
Is he gay? Transgendered? Cross dresser? Any of those would seal the win.
Oops. I din’t spelling putting correcting. Perhaps I was thinking of Mel’s qualifications and a spanish dirty word that relates to his qualifications.
A topless dancer may be far more trustworthy than your average democrat...
I agree with that. A prostitute as well.
After all Mel does have the most important qualification for the job. He is black.
That being really the ONLY qualification that matters. Any thing else is just background.

And we are supposed to be surprised?
