Jesse Jackson Jr. - 54 Debbie Halvorson - 32 Title: Re: IL-02/WAA (D primary): JJJ with big lead over Halvorson Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on February 22, 2012, 07:32:14 PM Why do urban blacks seem to love machine politicians? Rangel should have been primaried by now.

Rangel should have been primaried by now. If Rangel were defeated in a primary, it wouldn't be because of the African-American part of the district's population. NYC has some powerful machines, I'd look at Joe Crowley as an even better example.

Rangel should have been primaried by now. Well, it's easy in this case: Halvorson is white. And I'm sure halvorson's white constituents would be clammoring to vot for a black congressman?

I don't think the Tribune (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-2ndcd-20120223,0,7564270.story) sees it either. They went with JJJ.
