Accused! Treason! Senate!

Did you see last night's evening news with Senate Candidate Alexi Giannoulias nearly foaming at the mouth? Perhaps its best that by this morning Giannoulias' remarks are being soft-pedaled. Accusing his opponent, Congressman Mark Kirk of treason as well as either being or wanting to be the Senator from Beijing is amazingly over the top. This is a US senate race, not Illinois politics.

While the President says in his campaign speech about his pal Alexi, "You can trust him; you can count on him." All I can ask is "For what?"

I think its best if we all go vote early for Mark Kirk for Senate. We don't need a US Senator who loses all perspective under stress, and Alexi Giannoulias has proved himself to be just that kind of guy.
