That Brisk Smell Of Hell Freezing Over
By Mitch Berg
I coudln’t get to this one last week; the ChiTrib endorses…
…a conservative Republican for Congress. Even the ChiTrib thinks Jan Schakowsky (IL-9CD) is “too partisan”
We have in the past gone hot and cold on Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky of the 9th District. She’s always up for a good debate and it’s a pleasure to spar with her. But she’s also one of the most partisan, liberal members of the House.
When the Democrats finished drawing the new congressional maps, Republican Tim Wolfe awoke to find himself living in the 9th. The district is considered safely blue. Wolfe lives in Arlington Heights, a pocket of red voters who were tossed into the 9th by mapmakers to protect the Democratic tilt of other districts. Wolfe decided he had to run against Schakowsky. “You know what Jan is going to offer,” he says. “More government, more taxes, more debt, more government intrusion. … She stands for the exact opposite of what I stand for in most cases.”
Am I the only one wondering if Schakowski owes one of the publishers a chit of some kind?
