and jumping to their feet. There is no golf clapping from this crowd.

The energy is now all on the left. All the right has now is inertia.

Let's hope our energy is contagious enough to overcome their inertia, voter suppression, and cheating.

I am a HUGE fanboy of this wonderful person -- I choose not to gendrify her.

Tammy HAS to win against the douche bag Joe Walsh.

USA! USA!

I confess that I am in tears by this.

Shame on me!!!

Tammy Duckworth for Congress

What a magnificent woman. Exemplified, single-handedly, alone there on that stage, than ALL the panty-waists and draft dodgers and chickenhawks in the GOP.

She was lambasted here as one of the DNC's pics years ago but she ran an excellent first campaign against a tea party Rethug running for Henry Hyde's old seat.

I worked on that campaign and have stood by her ever since. She's all that.

doesn't even begin to describe Tammy. She's in a class by herself. But she needs our help, so will put up her website again. She's gotta win her race.
