US Senator is a political job. I wouldn't want career politician Dick Durbin as my doctor and I don't want "life-long family career physician" this guy as my Senator. Although, he's a "loving husband" according to his press release. So that's good, I guess. 86%-14%.</p>Punky QBMon, 14 May 2007 18:34:56 -0000http://capitolfax.com/2007/05/14/durbin-has-his-first-gop-opponent/#comment-18100429<p>Dr. Tomato Can,</p><p>The whole "liberal liberal liberal" thing makes me tired of you already.</p><p>Next.</p>Buck TurgidsonMon, 14 May 2007 18:11:46 -0000http://capitolfax.com/2007/05/14/durbin-has-his-first-gop-opponent/#comment-18100428<p>Andy Martin???
