Cegelis endorsed Tammy Duckworth

[Mass]

I was not expected less from her, so I am not surprised by that.

However, this should remember us to be careful about what we read or hear in the media coming from unamed sources. Last week, a "The Hill" column had an anonymous source close to Cegelis saying she would not endorse Duckworth. Apparently, the source was not that close to Cegelis.

Closing the loop, Christine Cegelis has endorsed Tammy Duckworth's campaign against ex-Tom DeLay staffer Peter Roskam in Illinois Sixth Congressional District. From the Sun Times:

Christine Cegelis, who lost a three-way Democratic House primary battle last month, said she endorses the winner, wounded Iraq war vet Tammy Duckworth.

"I certainly endorse Tammy over Peter Roskam. I hope for a Democratic win in November, and I wish her all the luck in the world," Cegelis said.

This is completely in keeping with the character of Christine Cegelis, someone who represents the best the Democratic Party has to offer. She built a massive organization inside her own district with followers inspired to act on a large scale because they believed in her, and her message of progress. Now it's time for another fantastic candidate to pick up the mantle, Tammy Duckworth. Washington Post political blog, The Fix, ranks IL-6 as one of the top pick-up opportunities for either party in 2006.
