Democrat Debbie Halvorson appeared on Fox Chicago Sunday yesterday to discuss the 11th Congressional District race. Not surprisingly, the discussion quickly turned to the two bailout bills considered by the House of Representatives last week and how she would have voted if a member of Congress. Co-host Jack Conaty seemed to expect her to say she would have voted against the first bill and in favor of the second. But in line with her comments at last week's debate, Halvorson instead responded that she would have opposed both bills, saying that neither version assisted "the average person who needs help renegotiating their mortgage." Halvorson went on to describe as "shameful" the fact that incumbent Rep. Jerry Weller was the only member of the House to miss last Monday's vote. Watch it:
