Good point. They *CAN'T* use that issue; their boy hasn't got any
experience of that kind either. If (the biggest little word in the
language) I were a fan and a resident of Illinois I'd be seriously pissed

to serve a specified time as senator. Has this loser ever followed through
on any promise he made?
