So, former speaker Dennis Hastert's seat, in one of the redder districts in the country, with his hand-picked succesor as the candidate, is now in the hands of a Democrat - who received a last minute endorsement and commercial from Barack Obama.

This is huge!
My friend Adam said it, and then Joe said it. It is a huge and stunning upset!

Yippee...every Dem counts! If we're going to get anything done we'll need more than 50 plus one in congress.
It does seem to bode well for your party come November; but, not to take all the fun away, the GOP candidate lost at something like his fourth attempt for public office. Give up, dude! And, it was reported that he ran a rather negative and arrogant campaign.
Well, you're right, Joe, but at the same time, this is a district where even a negative, arrogant asshole should be able to win, as long as he's a republican.
Point taken; and at any rate, I believe they are due for a rematch in November.
