Roskamites wandering around my neighborhood (IL 6th district)
Three young fresh faced white kids, late teens/early 20s I'd guess. Seemed to be hitting specific houses and dropping off materials. Interestingly, they pulled up in a car with a "In case of Rapture This Car will be Unmanned" bumpersticker. They didn't come to my house but one of the girls was making eye contact with me in that moonie, picking up strays at the mall kind of way.

(This is Henry Hyde's district. He's retiring and the race is between Peter Roskam (R) and Tammy Duckworth (D).)

2. I don't know. I'm worried the Dems here are
overestimating enthusiasm for Tammy's campaign.

3. They are a little that David pushing the staff to keep pushing
Roskem's record on veterans and his backing of the Bush 2007 Veterans Budget is about to hit in mail outs.

5. Ick, if they showed up at my house I'd ask them why they're
not in Iraq fighting for freedom?

Roskam's a big buddy of DeLay's isn't he????

6. I don't know about "big buddy" but there was a ...
...fund raiser dust up mentioned in his wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Roskam#2005

As Hyde's annointed successor there's bound to be connections like that.
