Illinois did have a serious candidate until it came out that he used to take 7 of 9 to wife-swapping clubs

WHen Obama was running in the Democrat primary for Senate the leading candidate for the Dems had his sealed Divorce paperwork from court leaked to the press. I think the guy hit his wife or something This forced the guy to drop out of the race, and Obama won. The Republican canidate Jack Ryan's divorce records were also sealed. Yet somehow the records got in the hands of the press and Obama won. When Obama ran for the House in the 1990s , he went to court to challendge the petitions that qualified all his opponents.. he got all but one declard ineligible to run for office. (I may have some details of this wrong. i'm going from a half-forgottenmemory) Hound: Yeah, that’s an interesting story.

The Democrat base is still all fired up, Republicans, eh, not so much. That is what the GOP must do between now and November -- come up with a message that will motivate, especially the base. And I fear McCain just isnt going to cut it with selling out on "global warming" and his "greedy wall street" crap.
