Well At Least Tammy Duckworth Beat Kirk

Narrowed the gap in the Senate a pinch and got rid of that moron Mark Kirk.

Small consolation i suppose.

Glad to be back on DU, though

We gained two senators, and lost none.

And I am most pleased with Duckworth, who handily shellacked Kirk.

I'm still trying to figure out which state rep districts "Kathleen" (from all those commercials) actually lives in. Judging by the ads, she seems to live in 10 or 12.
