Bustos wins a HUGE victory in Illinois 17th district

Cheri Bustos won a big victory against the disappointing Bobby Schilling in the 17th Illinois Congressional District, thereby returning control of the district to the Democrats.
I do not live in that particular district, or even in Illinois, but I had the misfortune of meeting Schilling and am really happy that Ms. Bustos beat that smarmy bastard. I am a native of the Quad Cities and Schilling was touting his bi-partisanship with Loebsack. Except it was only bi-partisanship when it was convenient for him. So good riddance to Bobby. Go run your pizza place and shut up.

Loebsack will now have someone to work with who genuinely cares about the QCA.

than I was that Loebsack won. Smarmy bastard fits him perfectly. He tainted Lane Evan's seat for two years too long.

She called last night totally ecstatic as they did not think they could pull this off in this rural district.
