Oh Boy... I Think It's Another Hardattack..

Illinois Democratic Candidate for U.S. Senate Barack Obama seems unbeatable. His stunning 53% win in the primaries cemented his status as the strongest national Democratic candidate this state has seen in years. The GOP keeps trying to prop up candidates, but they keep running away.

Needless to say, I felt confident that this seat would go to the D side in November.

BUT... Then the GOP brought out the Illinois uber-focus group.




"Who would be a better United States Senator... John McCain or Mike Ditka?"

"2000 McCain rejecting Vice Presidency or 2004 McCain rejecting Vice Presidency?"

"Either."

"Ditka."
