Hiram Wurf over at Wurf While blog points out that the Democratic primary in the 14th Congressional District could be a real record-breaker.
In the race to replace U.S. Rep Dennis Hastert, who hasn't declared his intentions, Wurf says at least one Dem -- Fermilab scientist Bill Foster -- already plans to spend $1 million of his own money.
Wurf also suggests that State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, who formed an exploratory committee, could decide against entering the race after all.
So much attention has been paid to the dominos in the Republican Party that will fall if Hastert decides to retire, that it seems the maneuvers by the Democratic Party to win this seat have been overlooked. Regardless of who runs on the GOP ticket, the money talk being thrown around seems to indicate the Democrats won't be an afterthought in the 14th District, as they have been for so many years.
What about LInda Holmes.... she seems to be able to get what she wants, when she wants... :)
