Schilling's opponent Phil Hare made national headlines when he spoke on camera regarding [[ObamaCare]] saying, ''"I don't worry about the [[Constitution]] on this to be honest."'' Also, he has described himself as a veteran even though he was just a reservist. Schilling trails Hare in election polling but he has closed the gap enough that the seat went from 'Safe' to 'Likely' Democrat.
