The Republicans are doing whatever they can to hold on to Dennis Hastert's seat...including breaking House Rules by sending emails over the Congressional email network to Ohio staffers asking them to send their Congressional interns to phone bank for Republican Jim Oberweis:

A last minute plea, if you have interns sitting around today, please send them over to the RNC room B2 to phone bank for Oberweis in IL-14. Staff, etc. will be making calls all day up until 9 tonight. The phone bank will open tommorrow (Election day) at 9am and end at 7pm.

Feel free to forward to friends on the Hill etc.

1. They have a real turd there to sell the public.

A fairly clear choice between a very successful man on the Dem side and an asshole on the Repug side. Could be close. Hard to overcome that 24 hour a day republican media ownership blitz.

6. The Chicago Sun Times is a worse right wing rag than the

Trib by a long shot. The fact that they endorsed the milk nazi is very telling. At least the Trib endorsed Bill Foster.

Nothing would make me happier tomorrow night than to see the Milk Nazi get beat. I just hope Foster's people know what they're up against.
