McHenry County Blog

The 8th congressional district gets attention from super-blogger Daily Kos Tuesday. It’s worth a read.

There are 366 comments, as of 6 PM Tuesday. See samples below.

Anyone owning a business who would allow Bill Scheurer’s petitioners to stand out front, please let me know.

It is my belief that with Scheurer on the ballot, Republican candidate David McSweeney beats Melissa Bean.

Thanks to Capital Fax Blog for the tip.

Here are some samples of the comments:

-Bean still votes with Democrats on what are consider 'key' votes, 80% of the time.

-I got involved with the Bean campaign through working for Dean working for Dean for President at the Meet-ups. All of us at the Meet-ups are progressive as they come. We all supported her.

And believe it or not, she is more liberal that the people she represents in this district. That is why far right McSweeney won in the GOP primary.

There was no indication she would be as conservative as it appears now. We knew she would be moderate and more for business interests. But we HAD TO beat Crane.

But yet, she is no McSweeney who is far far to the right. She is our Lieberman. I would rather be in that situation then have a McSweeney wingnut.

-If she lied to win the primary, to me that's just another reason to think what these unions are doing is dead on correct.
