Since Barack Obama is already the Democratic nominee in all but name, the real news last night is that the GOP Presidential nominee John McCain still has Republican primary voters voting against him even though he’s running uncontested and already has more than enough delegates to win the nomination officially. I’ve discussed the prior […]
It is a political campaign maxim, particularly for non-incumbents, that campaigns must jealously focus on their own race to win - and that any ‘distraction’ from their campaign comes at great or even unbearable cost. While examples may exist, how often have you heard of an underdog congressional campaign taking their volunteers to canvass […]
The Democratic Party of DuPage County will hold a fundraiser at Klein Creek Golf Club in Winfield. More details to come. Save the date.

“Is it an offensive notion that the government created aids? Absolutely, but I refuse to get all bent out of […]
Democratic Candidate Tony Michelassi got picked up by the Lisle Sun in a profile here - and Progress Illinois picked it up here. I met Tony a while ago (he was then with Ruben Zamora’s 14th Congressional District campaign) - and he is certainly enthusiastic. You can check out Tony’s campaign blog here.
