Cegelis conceded this morning.  Duckworth won 44 - 41.  It would be rather refreshing to see a person on wheels in Congress.  Maybe disabilities issues could actually get some real face time.

I too have no idea of her stances on absolutely anything, but here's to hoping she's a Progressive, female member of Congress.

And here's to hoping that we can send Chuck Pennacchio, a real Progressive to join her in Congress from Pennsylvania instead of DINObot.

If you want Chuck to win, you'd be wise to spend a few hours reading over the post-mortem diaries this morning.  I've been trying to follow both campaigns, and note that in both the national and state parties "pre-blessed" candidates for a primary election.

And all this time I thought the endorsements came after the primaries.

Yeah, I keep mistaking myself for a member of the party who has some say in who the party endorses. Live and learn. I suppose if I free myself of these silly notions, I'll be a far happier young (cough) man.

You would be wise to check into the background before you comment. Reworded so that you might understand, your statement sounds like:
Pennacchio conceded this morning.  Casey won 44 - 41.  It would be rather refreshing to see a Democrat from Pennsylvania in the Senate.  Maybe our issues could actually get some real face time.

I too have no idea of Bob Casey's stances on absolutely anything, but here's to hoping he's a Progressive member of Congress.

And here's to hoping that we can send Christine Cegelis, a real Progressive to join her in Congress from Illinois instead of DINObot.

Just saying. You could fairly safely substitute Cegelis for Pennacchio and Duckworth for Casey and be on the right track. The only difference being that Christine already had a very strong track record in her district.

that's why i stated that i too had no idea what she was like and that i hoped she was a Progressive.  it seems like many others here don't know much about her nor the race in general.  educate us!

i've been getting the word out on the differences between pennacchio and casey for the past few months as has jpol, BooMan and a host of others here.  please please make a ruckus if you know of more candidates plopped down from the top.
