I had no idea what you meant. I know the guy's name but typed it wrong but it took me 20 minutes for me to notice the typo.

welch/welsh are variant spellings of the same word. I prefer to use "welch" because using "welsh" seems to me to be a knock against the honesty of people from Wales

There is a reason it is called the land of smiles. (though, in the airport, the giant sign you walk under actually says: "Welcome to Thailand, the land of smile"

Duckworth is wonderful. Walsh is a deadbeat. There should be no contest except there are a lot of old men and a few idiot women who think she should have stayed in a kitchen baking cookies instead of going off to war.

Tammy Duckworth for Congress

How dare you cheer her speech without recognizing the fact that she is in a pitched battle for a seat in Congress against a well-funded douche tea bagger who dared to question her military service. He may win yet; Citizens United tries to see to that.

But she is also a turnover seat. And that is very important. Walsh is shoving his foot in his mouth. But Tammy needs help.

Please do it. See post #14 in this thread to convince you.

She is a dark horse rising star.
