music to our ears-

Democrats upset by how Rep. Daniel Lipinski (D-Ill.) acquired his seat and what he’s done with it will give the second-termer another primary challenge in 2008.

Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Mark Pera has filed papers with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), and yesterday told The Hill that he will announce his candidacy for Lipinski’s seat after July 4.

National Democrats have a policy of supporting incumbents in primaries.

“Congressman Lipinski is an effective representative for his district and has a strong record of getting things done,” a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Ryan Rudominer, said.

1. Thank the Lord....
Thanks for posting this mo, you've made my day....

Here's the link to Mark's website. It's pretty bare bones for right now, but it'll do.

DINO Dan has to go.

Interesting tidbit in that piece about John Kelly. I wonder why he hasn't bothered to respond to the requests from the FEC?

Could it be because he was too busy building a brand new McMansion in Oak Lawn over the past year?
