Reply #84: Rahm got Duckworth to run, Durbin involved as well as Obama.

They met with her and convinced her to run.

Schumer told Rendell to clear the way for Casey. When Rendell said he was anti-choice, Schumer said that did not matter anymore.

Schumer said they would step into primaries if there was any problem. He said they would get very involved.

Rahm and the DCCC have held fundraisers for her in DC, even in the DCCC HQ.

I heard Christine say on Laura Flanders the other night that early voting started the next day. That would be Monday it started. Our party leaders should not be endorsing now of all times.

Tonight is money counting time, and Christine knows all the big bucks are going to Duckworth. She also knows she will be judged by the amount of money she gets....even though the party powers that be have deprived her of support.

We should get to choose in the primaries, then I am willing to vote for the Democrat in the election. But since they are meddling in so many primaries...by they I mean congressional leaders and office holders and committee chairman...they are taking away our choices there.

So if that is how it will be played, there won't be change in the party.
