4. The visual of her walking off using her assists is so very powerful, it drove me to tears!!

I thought of Max Cleland and how he was treated by the traitorous Republicans!!

8. I remind everyone that she was one of Rahm Emmanuel selections initially

She lost her first bid to Peter Roskam, a hard core tea bag Rethug who took over Henry Hyde's seat. She only lost by about 2 points if I can recall in one of the reddest counties in the country.

I worked on her first campaign. She's really all that.
