Man Bites Dog!

In the spirit of that most improbable headline, the Chicago Tribune has done what I would have thought impossible:

For Congress: Duckworth

It's even weirder than that: all 7 endorsements they make for the US House today are Democrats!!!

More evidence of just how bizarre this year is.

Schmidlap - most of those people are entrenched Dems in districts that will never go Republican. Let's see if they also endorse Laetsch, etc.

Good point. In the past, they've tended to make House endorsements based on their notion of the political makeup of the district.

That said, the Duckworth endorsement is still notable, as that's West Crackerstan out there.

Regardless of what happens in the election, the day Henry Hyde is no longer a member of Congress will be a great day for this nation.
