...Flanagan? Don't worry; nobody else does, either. Flanagan was the guy who defeated Illinois Congressman Dan Rostenkowski back in 1994. Rostenkowski had held the seat for 36 years and was the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. (He was also under indictment at the time.) Flanagan became the only Republican to represent a significant portion of Chicago since 1967.
Despite endorsements from the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times, however, Flanagan was defeated after only one term in the House. (I won't mention who succeeded him.)
Remind you of anyone?
