Comments on: Whom does Hillary think she’s kidding? http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/03/06/whom-does-hillary-thing-shes-kidding/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

I've got kin over that way, and one of my nephews is a politician in Kane County. The polls show it a tossup between Democrat Bill Foster and Republican perennial candidate Jim Oberweis. Both sides have spent a lot of money, and there's been a lot of mudslinging. The ordinarily conservative Chicago Tribune has endorsed Democrat Foster. But the ordinarily moderate/liberal Sun-Times oddly gives the nod to Oberweis, but disses him big time in the process.

"Obama's advantage over McCain is the bigger one in this ABC News/Washington Post poll, a 12-point lead compared to Clinton's 6-point edge. McCain's endorsement by George W.

With all the hubbub on the Presidential election this one's almost been forgotten. Pat,
What’s your take on the Foster/Oberweis battle for Hastert’s seat?
