Melissa Bean’s Groundhog Day Is October 20th

Th closest thing I could find to a debate in a forum at which constiutents did not have to pay was at a Grayslake supermarket after the primary election. No wonder she is spooked about defending her record of supporting Obamacare and Stimulus Packages.
Congresswoman Melissa Bean has agreed to come out of her Bean Bunker on October 20th.
She will actually appear on the same stage as her opponents Republican Joe Walsh and Green Party candidate Bill Scheurer.
It won’t be in McHenry County though.
We are not important enough to merit a public appearance with
her opponents.
The last time that happened was before Labor Day in 2006 when she ran against Republican Dave McSweeney and Bill Scheurer.
Over four years ago.
That was a debate she lost.
This year’s only debate will be at the inconveniently located (at least for McHenry County) Grayslake Central High School, 400 N. Lake St., Grayslake.
Half an hour from McHenry, assuming you don’t get lost and the traffic is light, which it won’t be.
It starts at 6:30.
The Lake County League of Women Voters will screen questions, a most frustrating format the League is known for.
Besides 8th Congressional District candidates, those from the 62nd State Rep. contest will be featured. They are Republican incumbent Sandy Cole and Democrat challenger Rich Voltair.
So, mark your calendars and plan to arrive early so you can get a seat.

Melissa Bean's last public appearance with opponents, David McSweeney and Bill Scheurer then, was in 2006 at a Northwest Herald-sponsored debate at McHenry County College.
And, if you plan to attend and have a camera, please take some photos for me. I’ll be at a McHenry Marlins swim practice when I would otherwise be driving east along crowded Route 120. If some folks will send me some notes of what the candidates say, that would be helpful, too.
It occurs to me that all the Chicago TV stations will cover this event, so undoubtedly partisans of each candidate will have people holding signs outside that will be seen on television later that night.

State Rep. Sandy Cole emails that “the debate also includes the 31st Senate district candidates… Senator Michael Bond & County Board Chairwoman Suzi Schmidt.”
Message of the Day – A Tee Shirt
Today’s tee shirt was found at Disney World.
over a crucifixion scene.
A Superman and Supergirl look alike without the “S’s” on their uniforms stand below, the caped man on left side of the cross and the girl on the right.
Underneath is John 3:15—
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
I found it while waiting for my son in “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.”
