And that's not Davis' only problem. The <em>Huffington Post </em>has a
post up entitled, "<strong>With Friends Like These - Party Hack Behind

written by<span> the former General Counsel of the Illinois Republican
Party who writes that Rodney Davis "has played a major role in making
the Illinois Republican Party a national laughingstock," slams Davis as
"discredited and unqualified," and places him at the "center of the
Illinois Republican Party's money transfer scandal." <a

Tim Johnson: “I Hardly Even Know Rodney Davis”</font></strong></p>
<font size="2"><br>
Congressman Tim Johnson is not endorsing the Republican pick to run for
his seat in Illinois 13th Congressional District. In the first radio
interview Johnson gave since career political hack Rodney Davis was
selected as the Republican nominee, Johnson went as far as to claim
that he hardly even met Davis. Johnson's cold shoulder spells trouble
for Republicans in the 13th, which was won by President Obama in 2008.<br>
<br>
>From Johnson:<br>
<br>
"I hardly even know Rodney Davis. I've met him once or twice and I
really have very very little knowledge about his background, his
position on issues, or otherwise. So I'll reserve judgment on that
until things come along the way here. Obviously, I knew Erika very well
and I knew Jerry Clarke very well, and uh, they were both good friends.
And I don't know some of the other candidates near as well, including
Rodney. I've hardly even met him."<br>
