Good reading!
He alludes to information that he cannot confirm about a poll taken by Hastert - must be taken with big grain of salt, but it was 49-45! That is a 4-pt spread in a Hastert - managed poll, compared to a 10-pt spread a week or so ago in an independent poll. If there is any validity to this, then a couple of weeks should be plenty of time to overtake and leave in the dust.

I want this one so bad I can taste it! I don't even live in his district (about 100 yards from it though). But between having had a long-standing contempt for Hastert and all he stands for, having met John and been very impressed, and so wanting the message to be broadcast worldwide in a couple of weeks that the American public are not like the bushco crowd, I have become a Laesch groupie!
I admit it. I love our country and its form of government. I buy the whole line about "land of opportunity" etc. I hate it that it is being turned into a hateful monster in the eyes of the world.
I want fresh-faced, earnest kids like John Laesch and Tammy Duckworth in congress, and if they don't know how to find their way to the restroom the first day, I could not care less! They ARE America! They BELONG there. Scum like Hastert and Ney and Boehner and... and... and... do NOT belong there. They are corrupt and they cast a pall on my country! The mockery they have made of the legislative process in order to cover their tracks with respect to earmarks and such is criminal. They should all have to go to prison until they have memorized the entire Constitution and can recite it verbatim while being waterboarded.
As I said at John's Town Meeting: We need to send a message to the world that "the American public is mad as hell and not going to take it any more" (I got a nice round of applause too! :) )
