I got press releases on the financial bailout bill from
- 16th District Congressman Don Manzullo
- his Green Party challenger Scott Summers, plus
- 8th District challenger Steve Greenberg (who agrees with the bailout’s rejection by congress). (a supporter).
Melissa Bean doesn’t have me on her press release list, so nothing from her. (She voted “Yes.”)
I expected one from Manzullo’s Democratic Party opponent, Robert Abboud. The Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was raised and maintains a home on the family estate in his village of Barrington Hills.
Surely, Abboud is following the issue.
Does the lack of a press release suggest that Manzullo may be in touch with his constituents with his negative vote?

The picture of Democratic Party candidate for congress in the 16th District, Robert Abboud, was taken last January in Woodstock at a McHenry County Democratic Party Central Committee meeting. It’s the best one I could find of him “thinking.”
