Il-6th CD: Jagla v Morganthaler

Jagla on Iraq (I guess he's still on the ballot):

“No appropriations bill will reach the floor,

until the president agrees to end the war.”

And Colonel Morganthaler,

Our troops in Iraq are patriots and heroes. I know because I served with them. They deserve a responsible game plan to get out of Iraq and the benefits they earned when they get home. Endless tours of duty? Waiting lines at the VA? That's a slap in their face. They deserve better and I will fight to make sure they get it.

Save a few posts by Bridget and Hiram, the silence on this race deafening (Check Prairie State Blue).

Morganthaler takes on Roskam and starts triangulating on Iraq (seems to me as she already has. How is she different from Kirk or Lipinski above?), then Progressives have no one to blame but themselves because they've ditched the clear anti-war guy in the 6th.

They should layoff Lipinski and Kirk and just call it quits on Foreign Affairs.
