2. Don't forget Glenn Poshard, whose defeat gave us George Ryan.

Nov 2014

The Democrats did Poshard in, because of 2 issues: his being personally 'pro-life' and being a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Although he repeatedly said that he would support the law of the land (Roe v. Wade and the Brady Bill, e.g.), despite his personal beliefs, many Dems either chose to stay home or supported Ryan. Furthermore, let's not forget that Poshard was also the first person to publicly state that Ryan had committed the crimes which would eventually land him in prison.

Some times, being Cassandra is no fun.
