| Chicago - The jockeying to replace Jesse Jackson Jr. began before the ink was dry on the former congressman’s resignation letter. (Snip) But as the field of would-be successors grows to a dozen or more names — one of whom may be another member of the Jackson family — party leaders and political analysts say a stampede of candidates could pose risks for the Democratic stronghold. Spread the field of candidates too thin, they say, and it becomes easier for a more conservative candidate — or anyone else party leaders don’t want — to pull off a win. The possibility so worried Democratic Congressman

Comments:
The dRATS stronghold in Chicago afraid of the Tea Party? Please. A criminal hiding out in a psych ward for five months was overwhelmingly reelected to Congress. How could the opposition possibly lose a special election? Don´t they still have control of the voting machines?

To the highest bidder! Perhaps they should put it up for grabs in the State Lotto game. I´d buy a ticket for a buck to get a fantastic free ride, high paying job, perks out the wazoo and lifetime pension with full, top notch medical care- free! And, obviously, any idiot is qualified for the job. You can even be certifiably insane! The "job" can be performed to the full satisfaction of the voters, regardless of mental condition.

I remember it distinctly. Rahm wasn´t all that popular for choice of mayor in Chicago until he came out for reparations and almost overnight,he shot to the top and eventually won easily.
The writer of this article is on some serious drugs if he thinks a moderate type can sneak in and win this seat. It´ll actually be the opposite,the most radical loudmouth.
These voters really don´t have time or sense to distinguish between 12 people who are philosophically the same.So it´ll be personality or a champion of victimization.

One of conservatism´s leading journals, National Review, published a lead editorial on the Pigford scandal on Monday, not only noting that Andrew Breitbart was right all along but that the scandal deserves more attention nationally. As it wraps up, the NR piece arrives at the logical conclusion that Obama´s expansion of Pigford payouts "resembles in organization and aim a criminal conspiracy of breathtaking proportions, and one in which the federal government was first complicit and then ultimately responsible."

“I don’t know why you want to know all this; just do it.” – Clinic worker in the Bronx, answering questions about late-term abortion from a woman who was 23 weeks pregnant. An antiabortion activist appears to have videotaped a counselor at a Bronx clinic laughingly advising her not to trouble herself with the particulars of the late-term abortion that the woman, who was 23 weeks pregnant, said she wanted. What if the baby were born alive at home once the process was set in motion? “If it comes out, then it comes out; flush it,’’ a counselor at the Dr. Emily Women’s Health Center answered

In five weeks of testimony, jurors were told that Dr. Gosnell, 72, had performed late-term abortions by injecting a drug to stop the heart of the fetus, but that when one jerked an arm, cried or drew breath outside the womb,

Sixty years ago, on 29 May 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary stood with Tenzing Norgay on the summit of the world, a symbol of human co-operation.

To retirees, the offers can sound like the answer to every money worry: convert tomorrow’s pension checks into today’s hard cash. But these offers, known as pension advances, are having devastating financial consequences for a growing number of older Americans, threatening their retirement savings and plunging them further into debt. The advances, federal and state authorities say, are not advances at all, but carefully disguised loans that require borrowers to sign over all or part of their monthly pension checks. They carry interest rates that are often many times higher than those on credit

After the country´s largest diesel retailer sought to downplay the probe, federal officials took the unusual step of unsealing an affidavit that helped authorize the raid before any charges have been filed. The sworn statement recounts internal Pilot conversations that led investigators to conclude there was a widespread scheme to defraud trucking

Over five years after Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses and demolished the notion that white voters wouldn’t support a black presidential candidate, progress for other African-American politicians remains elusive. Even as the country elected and re-elected Obama, making it seem increasingly unremarkable to have a black family in the White House, African-Americans are scarce and bordering on extinct in the U.S. Senate and governorships. The president is indeed exceptional - but in the wrong sense of the phrase as it applies to other black politicians. Consider what has taken place, or not taken place,

It says these changes can be particularly harmful for women.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released its latest cosmetic and resconstructive surgery statistics on Monday. Many of the trends were familiar. In all, the group reported, Americans underwent 1.6 million cosmetic surgeries, including face-lifts, liposuction and rhinoplasty; 13 million minimally invasive procedures (think Botox injections) and 5.6 million reconstructive procedures (including tumor removal and scar revision). People in the U.S. spent $11 billion on the cosmetic procedures alone. Once again, for the seventh year in a row, breast augmentation was the most popular form of cosmetic surgery, with 286,000 operations performed.
