Word is that former 17th CD Congressman Lane Evans' chief of staff/now U.S. Rep. Phil Hare will have a challenger in 2008 after all. . . and the decision will likely be made official tomorrow.
Hare has emerged as one of Congress' most obnoxiously-liberal members of Illinois Democratic delegation -- and that says a lot when he's sitting next to Jan Schakowsky, Luis Giutierrez, Rahm Emanuel, Danny Davis, Bobby Rush and Jesse Jackson, Jr. . . !
Stay tuned, 17th CD voters . . . you may have a choice after all in 2008.
