Why is former High School wrestling coach Hastert running for another term?

You would think that after having knowing about and protecting Foley from being scrutinized about his "young boy" attraction all this time that he would take a hike too.

These Republicans have no shame.

1. I really wish he would quit
He is, sadly, the representative for my district. He is a huge embarassment, but is almost guaranteed a win in this largely rural, conservative district.

Fortunately he does have a Democratic opponent, John Laesch. With everything that is coming out about Hastert, Laesch may have a good chance to win.

3. John Laesch will hold a press conference today.
Snip>Laesch to address Hastert’s hypocrisy on Internet sex predators at press conference

John Laesch, Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in Illinois’ 14th District will hold a press conference at the St. Charles Municipal Center, 2 East Main Street, St. Charles, IL, at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 30. <snip

We'll have to see if anyone is paying attention.
