It’s great when positive things get done in state government. It’s even better if we can get positive things done in a bi-partisan way, where both Democrats and Republicans support a good bill. What can you say about good bills that get unanimous votes - where everyone voting supports the bill? Pretty amazing!

Overturning Republican State Senator Dan Cronin’s efforts to restrict DuPage County candidate ballot access, Democratic State Senator Don Harmon and Democratic State Representative Paul Froehlich sponsored a bill passed in the Illinois General Assembly last Friday that requires DuPage candidates to collect the same number of signatures to get on the ballot as is required […]

Yes, it’s true. The Democratic nominee for President of the United States in 2008 will not win every vote in the general election.

Charlie Pierce has written an extremely powerful piece, “The Cynic and Senator Obama,” in this month’s Esquire. Whatever you may think of it - it’s an important criticism, made more moving by Pierce’s love for an America lost (and feared forever lost). I got there via Ezra Klein’s post, which is also well […]
Matt Stoller may be overestimating some of the power of the structure, but his analysis of Barack Obama’s Campaign is certainly worth a read. The issue, which has excited New York Times Opinion Columnist Paul Krugman to no end, is two-fold:

Illinois House State Representative Candidate Joe Heneghan has just recently launched his website at www.heneghan-for-rep.com.
