I'm loathe to exchange a dem of any stripe for a repug.

Is this a seat that will fall back to the repug's and mcarthy? That would suck more than lepinski.

Everything else being equal the Democrats should retain that seat. Although I notice that Biden supporters are silent about Lipinski being a Biden backer, and put it in his commercials, while Sanders endorsed Newman.
