Chris Bowers is taking aim at Kind because Obama got 58% in his district. By way of comparison, Ellsworth who voted like Kind is in an Obama 47% district. Bowers compared and contrasted their votes on the wall street bailout and this one.

Iraq War Funding - Timeline - GI Bill and Unemployment Extension. How our local Reps Voted.

by: wegerje

Sat May 17, 2008 at 03:04:52 AM CDT

So they voted "Present". That caused the measure to be defeated. The progressive "Blues" went from 140 last year to 147 this year. Of note is Boswell of Iowa. He abandoned his Blue Dog buddies probably because he's got a race on his hands from real progressive (or at least a lot more) Ed Fallon.

After the jump two more interesting votes from Thursday.

IL-14: Laesch Press Conference

by: Downtowner

Fri Feb 08, 2008 at 21:25:58 PM CST

John Laesch has conceded the special primary to his opponent, who will run against Republican nominee Jim Oberweis on March 8 to decide who will fill the remaining ten months of Hastert's term, but he has not conceded the general primary, which is still undecided until all votes are counted.  This morning Laesch held a press conference to answer the many questions the campaign has been bombarded with regarding his intentions.  I attended it.  And since the campaign has made it clear they will make no further statements, I will share my observations and the text of his remarks below.

IL-14: The Losing Strategy

by: Downtowner

Sun Feb 03, 2008 at 23:17:59 PM CST

What's happening most immediately in the IL-14 corner of Podunk (a term I use here to describe anything not directly inside the DC Beltway) is a primary and a special primary on Tuesday, between the DC insider "pick" for our district, an attorney who is a relative newcomer to both politics and our area, and John Laesch, the nominee against Denny Hastert last time out, and the only progressive in the race.

At this point, I'd call it a significant bellwether for the upcoming Congressional elections that virtually no one outside of IL-14 is paying much attention to in the glare of the presidential race, as well as a bellwether event in the battle for control of the party.  So while I don't expect this diary to get much attention, I want to leave a record of what has happened in this primary.  Bellwethers, however unobserved at the time, sometimes have a way of becoming useful history for those who follow.

only dan seals completed the voter guide question.  his response notes:

After a short 11-month campaign and a lot of hard work, Dan shocked the pundits and incumbent Mark Kirk by winning 47 percent in the election. Dan is vying for the seat again in 2008, and this time with even more support.
