Seems Duckworth is going to have this race wrapped up after Kirk's appalling comment in yesterday's debate.
Duckworth: "My family has served this nation in uniform, going back to the Revolution. I'm a daughter of the American Revolution. I've bled for this nation. But I still want to be there in the Senate when the drums of war sound. Because people are quick to sound the drums of war, and I want to be there to say this is what it costs, this is what you're asking us to do. … Families like mine are the ones that bleed first."
Kirk: "I had forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington."
:shock:
...stunned silence...
