Tammy Duckworth sign in the 6th Congressional District part of Crystal Lake. Hint: she is running in the new 8th District, none of which will be in McHenry County.

Driving my son home from school on West Crystal Lake Avenue, I notice a Tammy Duckworth for Congress sign on the Algonquin Township side of the street.

That street is the boundary between two congressional districts and, if one of them were the new 8th District where Duckworth is facing off against incumbent Republican Joe Walsh, I would have no criticism.

However, none of the new 8th District is in McHenry County.

So, why is a Duckworth sign posted in Crystal Lake?

Turning onto Pomeroy toward Route 14, I happened upon a Peter Roskam yard sign.

This Peter Roskam sign is located a couple of blocks away in the same Algonquin Township precinct. Roskam is actually running in the 6th District where the sign is posted.

Roskam is the one who beat Duckworth four years ago.

And part of his new district is where both his and Duckworth’s signs are posted.

Are Democrats really so disoriented in McHenry County that they think Duckworth is seeking votes here or is something going on that I don’t understand. (And I’m sure there’s a lot of that.)
