EVENT, Lipinski float catches fire [IL-03]

Rep. Dan Lipinski's float caught fire in the Southside St. Patrick's Day parade. According to Rich Miller the crowd cheered.

I attended the parade, but didn't see Lipinski's float. Lipinski is being challenged by John P. Sullivan and John Kelly in the Democratic Primary.

In the past Proviso Probe covered Carol Marin speculating Kelly was a plant by the Lipinski organization to split the opposition vote.

While Kelly flirted with running as a Republican in the past and doesn't have a website, he seems to have enough of a campaign to be in the yardsign game in Beverly (the area of the parade).
