Reply #6: Has anyone out and out asked him what kind of deal

[Julien Sorel]

the Ill. GOP offered him to run? I think that's something he should be battered with, not because he needs battering, but because it underscores how underhanded the GOP has been over the past several years (Arnie, 2000, Texas redistricting, and so on). There's the outline of a pattern here, a party that will do anything or pay whatever it takes to win, and to hell with the forms of democracy. That case needs to start being made.
