					<description>On Joe Walsh: 

I'll tell you what I'm blathering about... I've got information man! New [stuff] has come to light!  Well sure, man. Look at it... a middle-aged trophy husband, in the parlance of our times, you know, and he, uh, uh, owes money all over town, including to known [everybody, really], and that's cool... that's, that's cool, I'm, I'm saying, he needs money, man. And of course they're going to say that they didn't get it, because... he wants more, man! He's got to feed the monkey, I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?</description>

					<description>Plummer has "unearned income ranging from $315,325.90 to $3,374,700.00 for 2011, in addition to his earned 
income from R. P. Lumber. In 2010, his unearned income ranged from $297,552.20 to $2,270,001.00." To state the obvious, this is probably why Mr. Plummer hasn't released his tax returns.</description>

					<description>The "don't mention Bush" admission on the republican site struck me as funny.  From their Brad Schneider summary advice http://www.democratfacts.org/index.php/states-a-m/illinois/brad-schneider

"Thematically, it is important to remember that this is a fiscally conservative and socially liberal district.  Issues such as taxes (although not referred to as the Bush tax cuts), spending, earmarks and debt work well.  Any issues that point towards corruption, ethical issues and special interests also work very well.  Social issues do not work here including guns, gay marriage, abortion and public education."</description>
