Not exactly high praise for the frontrunner

* Roll Call rates the Illinois Senate race…
Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, running against Republican Sen. Mark S. Kirk (previous ranking: No. 5)
Ranking Duckworth is difficult. She’s running a race that has yet to offer a stern test, given that Illinois’s deep shade of blue has made her a strong favorite from the get-go.
She’s a war hero, but also a former state official who faced an ugly civil lawsuit. She’s raised money at a steady, not stupendous, clip.
Democrats just need an average candidate win the race. By most indications, the congresswoman is up to the task.
Yeah. That’s about right, I think.
