Crain’s Chicago Business’ Political Guy, a Liberal, Predicts Walsh’s Demise in 8th

Joe Walsh

In an article predicting which districts Democrats stand the best chance of picking up seats, political commentator Greg Hinz pretty much concludes that Congressman Joe Walsh is toast.

Here’s what he wrote:

“Almost as certain is the eventual defeat of Tea Party flamethrower Joe Walsh.

“Yes, the Democrats have yet to navigate a rather noisy March primary contest between Raja Krishnamoorthi and Tammy Duckworth. But the district tilts Democratic, and word on the street is that national Democrats are preparing to dump all kinds of money into the contest.

“If Mr. Walsh were untarnished, he might survive in what, after all, is a 100% suburban district. But his video-caught bad judgment in harassing constituents and demanding that President Barack Obama ‘quit lying’ are a bit much. And it’s rarely good politics to be accused by your ex of holding out on $100,000 in child support payments.

“If the Democratic nominee runs even a mediocre campaign, Mr. Walsh is there for the taking.”

  1. I actually agree with that anaylysis. That’s how I would go after Walsh and the thing is it’s all true. I never thought of it as mud-slinging if it was a fact. I wish the GOP would take this seat, but not looking good for the home team.

  2. Liberals are the reason for every single thing that is wrong with this country. Why would anyone listen to anything any one of them has to say?
