Do you remember this story from when the democrats were first naming their candidates? I faintly recall it but I am not sure about the details. I think it goes like this. The democrats recruited a man to run for an office. If I remember correctly he had lost to the same opponent by a very small margin before. He went through all the trouble of setting up his campaign only to see the democrats pull their support after they found another candidate they liked better for some reason. At the time I thought this was a sleazy way of operating for the democrats. I'm not sure of any of this but I believe the seat in question was the one Tammy Duckworth lost the election for. I was very much in favor of Duckworth but at the time I was disappointed that the democrats would talk a man into running only to remove their backing after he got in the race.

Can anyone refresh my memory about this incident?
