Zinga v. Hare, part 2

Finally another news story about the Congressional race. Phil Hare shows up somewhere in Quincy (the story doesn't say....you have to find out from the photo caption that it was the Machinists Lodge) for a fundraiser and gets in the paper at last.

Same complaint as from the earlier post.....the story lets Hare set the agenda. It's an odd story all the way around......the first three paragraphs are about how people haven't heard of him yet. Then three paragraphs about how fundraising is going and the scheduling of debates. Finally, starting in paragraph 7, we get to hear Hare's view on an issue.........that affects Galesburg. End with a bunch of random general comments, and you've got something that is almost completely unilluminating.

Back to the debate schedule: the story says that "presumably"......(who's doing the presuming here?) the debate will be in Macomb, Champaign and the Quad Cities. Which of these things is not like the others? Could it be Champaign, which is not in the 17th District?

Updated score: Zinga, 21 inches, 1 photo; Hare, 16 inches, 1 photo. Neither photo is the least bit flattering.
