Gapers Block on 6th Dist Race

Cinnamon Cooper at Gapers Block takes a look:

Roni at Goddess Musings has been posting occasional updates on how Christine Cegelis' campaign to win District 6 is going. Cegelis ran last time against Henry Hyde (maybe you've heard of the Hyde Amendment) where she got 44% of the vote without support from the Democratic party. She seems like a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination, but she's not.

Apparently "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" only works in politics if the bootstraps are handed to you by Daddy Warbucks.
