Posted on October 12, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston -By Warner Todd Huston Democrat David Gill is having a few problems in his race for the 13th Congressional District in Illinois.

by Mychal Massie The other evening on my twitter, a person asked me why I didn’t like the Obama’s? Specifically I was asked: “I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama’s?
