Biden: Kelly's win shows 'political price' for opposing gun control
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency ^ | 2/27/13 | REID J. EPSTEIN

Vice President Biden said Illinois voters who chose Robin Kelly as the Democratic congressional nominee told the nation there will be “a moral price as well as a political price to pay for inaction” on gun control.

Kelly, who beat more than a dozen other Chicago-area candidates after an infusion of ad spending on her behalf by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, won a victory that shows the American people are behind the White House gun control push, Biden said.

Hey Biden, Score a win in someplace other than one of the most liberal districts in the nation and I might believe you (for that matter it wasn't even a “win” as it was just replacing one gun grabbing liberal loon with another).

Win one somewhere besides a liberal city with more than 400 murders every year.

So how long will it take for this....lady...to take a plea deal from the DoJ? IIRC that district has a long and rich history of sending former members to Club Fed.

So Bloomberg had to spend millions of his own money getting an anti-gun democrat elected to replace such a NRA-supporting stalwart as Jessie Jackson Jr. in a Chicago congressional district that’s 85% black? That’s quite an accomplishment!

Wrong Joe, all it shows is that money is a big election stealer in Chicago. It shows that Chicago Dems are ready to sell their souls for more government control and for election buying by a billionaire who doesn’t even live in the state where the election is held.

It is just more proof that Dems are corrupt and proud of it.

No Biden, it shows that Dem Voters in that district will vote the most liberal candidate. Money from that dirtbag NAZI Bloomberg helps too.

“Political price for opposing gun control?” In Chicago?

If John Gacy were alive and able to run as the democrat for that 2nd District seat, he’d win by 40+%. Gun control has nothing to do with it. Jesse Jackson Jr. won by 70%-28% while supposedly in a mental hospital. So what does that tell us about IL-2?
