And if I lived in IL, I'd vote for Durbin's opponent, whoever it is. Even if the GOP'er wasn't great on guns. The GOP senator wouldn't vote for Chuck Scumer and Pat Leahy on judiciary <<<
See, Illinois Freepers, even DanfromMichigan would hold his nose and vote for a "moderate" like Governor Edgar to kick Durbin out! Dan makes a good point about judges. Even if in a worse-case scenario--pick out a liberal-light Illinois Republican like "Bill Jim" Thompson-- they'll STILL better than Durbin. Thompson testified in FAVOR of Robert Bork's nomination, for instance. Can you imagine DICK Durbin doing that? Our guy is so far left he makes Lincoln Chafee look conservative.
It's really nice to see that five years of Durbin's swarmy, cocky attitude on the Senate floor has finally caught up with him. He looks like he's going to lose his "hometown" of Springfield for the same reason Gore lost Tennessee-- he's become a Daley-machine whore and abandoned his hometown roots.
Let's just pray the Illinois Republican Party is not too stupid to take advantage of this sitution.
