While you are spinning, I'll throw out something for you to chew on.
Illinois has elected just one Republican Senator in the last 40 years. You think its just a coincidence that we are about to get another?.. and Obama's old seat nonetheless.
And Fitzgerald only won that Senate seat because Carol Moseley Braun was suspected of fraud or something, something with campaign financing, and trips to Africa. Forget what exactly.
Good times in Illinois politics!
