[Peace-discuss] Landslide David Gill breathes a sign of relief...

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Here's what one observer said about it. (below).

(Congressman) Gill should be rejoicing.

I really did think they would choose the neocon beauty queen over
the neocon toady hack.

With the broadly despised Willard Romney heading the ticket, many 
Republican voters
will simply stay at home. It looks like the Illinois GOP is under orders 
from
headquarters to make sure this seat goes Democrat.

Party hack behind IL GOP money transfer scheme gets nod for Congress
By Doug Ibendahl

Rodney Davis, a State GOP insider at the center of the Illinois 
Republican Party’s money transfer scandal, was chosen today to replace 
retiring Congressman Tim Johnson on the ballot this November.

Davis, who as long-time right hand man to Congressman John Shimkus and 
State GOP Chairman Pat Brady, has played a major role in making the 
Illinois Republican Party a national laughingstock. Most recently Davis 
helped orchestrate a quite possibly illegal contribution funneling 
scheme which has become a growing embarrassment to the Party.

The discredited and unqualified Davis was inexplicably chosen over Erika 
Harold, a former Miss America, Harvard Law School graduate, and now a 
highly respected practicing attorney. The good-old-boys decided to 
reject the potential GOP rising star in favor of one of their own.

Today’s vote was shameful, but not all that surprising given the 
decrepit condition of the Illinois GOP.

Doug Ibendahl is a Chicago Attorney and a former General Counsel of the 
Illinois Republican Party.
