Walsh - an idiot - is saying that Ms. Duckworth is just running on her status of being a wounded veteran. She is also the former Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs at the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Ms. Duckworth is a Lt. Col. in the Illinois National Guard. Joe Walsh never spent a day in uniform for his country.

Ms. Duckworth is expected to kick Walsh's Republican butt in the election with no trouble.
Hope so. She looks like the better candidate. There are probably a lot of Republicans in that area of Chicago though (Northwestern suburbs). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinoi...ional_district
