Reply #25: What does that have to do with anything?

Nussle has never lost as an incumbent....why did he win in 2004? Because he was an incumbant in a year where very few incumbents lost. Why should he have lost in 2002? Because he was redistricted into a new district that didn't favor republicans. The DCCC soured the race that a Democrat should have won, but because of their behavior in the primary several Democrats didn't even vote in the general election handing the seat to Nussle by a wider margin than anyone had lost to him since his original victory against Eric Tabor in 1990.

Again, Duckworth may be a fine candidate, she may be the one to snatch the 6th District from republican rule, I don't know as I don't live in Illinois. What I do know is that the DCCC should not intervene in local primaries. Let the citizens of the District make the decision for the District. Then, in the general election, the DCCC can use Democrat contributed dollars to get Democrats elected. The DCCC should butt out.
