for Illinois. Several scandals and she wasn't really backed by the Party for her second term. I was so disappointed in her.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

i was mostly saddened that she let a shady man into her life. i try not to hold that against women, but...

she likely had cleaner hands than 90% of the congress, and 99% of the party hacks that hung her out to dry.

rethugs get away w murder, dems hang for speeding tickets.

He paid the price for the weak Democratic performance immediately. My wife and daughter went to her campaign office in Aurora and made donations and have been more active since. The Party did not seem to support her as well as she supports the Party.
