Footlik v. Seals
It turns out that Jay Footlik, the former Clinton aide running for Congress in the 10th district of Illinois, will have a primary opponent. Dan Seals, who nearly upset U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk in last year’s election, announced today that he will run again.
Meanwhile, Josh Kraushaar of the Politico has a post up about the major Jewish donors who are helping raise funds for Footlik.
