Dan Seals is such a great candidate. Kirk is stacking up a huge war chest, and Seals' opponent isn't going to do the democratic party any favors

Jay Footlik hasn't lived in the state since high school, and he grew up in Skokie, which isn't even in the district. And what has he ever accomplished besides introducing Monica Lewinsky to Bill Clinton? According to Lewinsky, it was Jay Footlik who helped her get her internship. http://a255.g.akamaitech.net/7/255/2422/16apr20041404/icreport.access.gpo.gov/hd105-311/vol4/tab21.pdf
According to his testimony to Ken Starr, he personally escorted her to a party at the West Wing where he facilitated an encounter with Bill Clinton. http://a255.g.akamaitech.net/7/255/2422/11may20041152/icreport.access.gpo.gov/hd105-316/1167-1170.pdf and http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb5087/is_199810/ai_n18478684
He's a registered lobbyist from Washington, a job most people liken to pond scum. In fact, his firm was fired by the University of California at San Diego for charging $100 an hour for lunching with federal officials and congressional staffers, not notifying the university that they were registered lobbyists and failing to file articles of incorporation with the state of Virginia. http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/articles/2007/03/21/this_just_in/746dinovo.txt

seems like parading fresh meat by the big dog would be considered a favor by many, even though hill would not appreciate it. other than that, he sounds like he might be a friend of rahm's.
yes, why aren't we talking about this?
