Someone brought to my attention a new blog, "Only in Illinois," devoted to Illinois politics. There certainly isn't any lack of raw material to work with, that's for sure.
I like the snarky, edgy tone of this new blog, especially since the post I happened upon dealt with our perennial 10th District carpetbagger from the 9th District, Dan Seals. If you've been following comments here, you know that Seals somehow got the Tribune to give him a few inches of space last week to sound off on the need for campaign contribution reform in Illinois. We could summarize our response to Seals' completely unoriginal rantings on campaign reform by simply saying "Well, Duh!" But this new blog has a more analytical take on Seals' little piece.
Check it out, and welcome to the crazy world of Illinois politics, Only In Illinois!

Dan's congressman co-chair has a husband who was a convict, Robert Creamer. His campaign manager is now working according to crains for one of the dirty henchmen trying to get rahm emmanuel's seat. Mark was also one of the few republicans who stuck a finger in the eye of Bush in 2001 to support campaign finance reform.
Cool.

run dan run!
Dan Seals has now been without a paying job since November 2005.
Well, don't forget his stint with "ThePoint.com" back in 2006, but I never did check up on his income disclosures to see if they ever actually paid him. also, I'm sure he got a few thousand (but no more) from NU for night class duties.
