Redistricting Illinois Style
Illinois Issues has a good story on the impact of redistricting on the Illinois Senate. A must read primer for the election. Even Rauschenberger is seriously challenged. While I’d like to see a Dem Senate, Raurschenberger is a serious guy on budget issues and it would be a shame to lose him. Kinda check on the system kinda guy.
Same issue, has a rundown
The interesting thing is how on the defensive the ICFST is. There is virtually no mention of targeted pick ups or contested seats except for defensive slots. It would appear, from the Republican side, that reallignment is close to done and that means a strong Dem position for a while.
