Jesse Jackson Jr will soon be retiring...if the tea leaves say anything. The vultures are already circling..the Chicago democrat machine is picking his replacement. Same dirty politics. The space under the bus is getting really crowded.

Wouldn't it be refreshing to elect a person in Chicago because they are qualified and not just because the democrat machine anoints them. That would mean that Chicago Voters would have to demonstrate independent thinking. NAH...that'll never happen.
