In bold are the most likely to become interesting. Other races have potential, but that will have to develop. IL-10 is arguable, but there are quality candidates for the Dems.
Defend your selection of CD-10. Sixty five percent(Kirk’s in 04)always seemed like a nice margin to me-
For one, it’s a Democratic Leaning District.
17 interesting? I dont think so.
CD 15 has potential
