now with republican senator mark kirk pledging to provide the deciding vote for lynch instead, it's not only clear that loretta lynch will be confirmed if they let the vote happen it's clear that the vote won't have to come with a giant conflict of tra indicted senator asterisk on it for all eternity. so thanks tammy duckworth! congresswoman duckworth, i think you very well may beat mark kirk in illinois next election day. and i think you are more likely than not to take that u.s. senate seat in illinois and add another democratic woman to the u.s. senate chamber. but in the meantime just you announcing that you were running against kirk has already paid these huge dividends against mike pence and what he is doing in indiana. and for loretta lynch as the next attorney general of the united states. and as we just heard from joseph cirincione. maybe not throwing up the round deal.
