My Take
Dick Durbin strikes me as a study in political endurance. From East St. Louis to Georgetown-trained attorney and professor, he has held an Illinois Senate seat since 1997 and climbed to Democratic whip, the number-two leadership post. What I admire is the longevity: keeping a state's trust across decades is no accident. His foreign honors from Latvia and Armenia hint at a man attentive beyond domestic borders. Whether or not you share his politics, the staying power and the discipline required to remain at the center of party leadership command a certain grudging respect from me.
