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.
Jill Morgenthaler’s Congressional Campaign in IL-06 has started to pick up momentum with additions/changes in staff, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) designation as a “targeted district” and a solid, if still needing to be ramped up, first full fundraising quarter quarter of over $200,000.

[OneMan provides a correction - it was the local GOP Party’s elephant, not Alan Keyes’ elephant.]
John Nichols reports about it here.
What I remember most of Alan Keyes’ 2004 GOP Senate bid against Barack Obama was that Keyes came to Naperville with a giant elephant float. The float got stuck within the first quarter mile […]
