Tammy Duckworth is amazing!

Unlike Walsh, she can actually string together coherent sentences. You Illinois people are damned lucky. And did anyone else notice when the crowd chanted "USA! USA!" it seemed unified and not used as an "us vs. them" kind of thing?

That was powerful stuff. She has a great story, and should be a great Congresswoman.

Sorry. I am a huge Tammy Duckworth fanboy.

You cannot post a Duckworth thread without this:
Tammy Duckworth for Congress

She's in a pitched battle against an utter douche bag tea partier. This would be a Dem pickup!!!

Tells great story.Shows Democrats care about veterans.She allows us to go after Romney for not mentioning troops and Afghanstain.
Plus she shows Food stamps and Pell grants are Important.

Hopefully people In her district does right thing and elects her to Congress.

He nurtured her early rise in politics. She ran a close, but unsuccessful, campaign for Henry Hyde's old seat in one of the reddest counties in the US. I worked on her campaign and she's really all that.

I am thrilled to see her success. Take that Peter Roskam, ya teabaggin' POS. Hope you're eaten up with jealousy watching her go now....
