Unlike Walsh, she can actually string together coherent sentences. You Illinois people are damned lucky. And did anyone else notice when the crowd chanted "USA! USA!" it seemed unified and not used as an "us vs. them" kind of thing?

You cannot post a Duckworth thread without this:
Tammy Duckworth for Congress
She's in a pitched battle against an utter douche bag tea partier. This would be a Dem pickup!!!

Plus she shows Food stamps and Pell grants are Important.
Hopefully people In her district does right thing and elects her to Congress.

I am thrilled to see her success. Take that Peter Roskam, ya teabaggin' POS. Hope you're eaten up with jealousy watching her go now....
