I really don't get why Lipinski fans are wringing their hands over this. If Lipinski is such an amazing fit for the district then he'll win re-election. If he loses, then I guess he wasn't a great fit after all. If you like Lipinski because of his positions on the issues, fine, but don't support him because he fits the stereotype of that particular slice of Chicagoland.
There's a huge amount of Atlas members who think every Congressman is just a swell guy who gets stuff done and should never be criticized ever, when in reality there are maybe like 7 of them total that should be treated with any level of respect.
Here's an idea guys: If the congressman is as good a fit for his district as you say, then you have nothing to worry about. If they lose, then obviously you were wrong.
