It is hard for me to believe anything being expressed about why the election results occurred as they did, except that it is linked to the influence of money, media and ignorance. This is not to say that disgust at the present affairs of state was unimportant.

<div>How admirable was the informative letter by David to the N-G, responding to the N-G commentaries on Illinois finances by Winkel, Dye and Nowlen. Many thanks. One hopes it will register in the public’s consciousness.</div>

“coalition,” or even for the reasons put forward by emo-dems. Rather, the midterms were a protest against neo-liberal principles and policy outcomes successfully achieved by Obama and the dominant factions of the Democratic Party: An active protest against
