Nice to see that the Republicans were able to hold onto this seat--one that the Democrats were trying to take.
Despite a depressing Tuesday night, this seat brought a smile to my otherwise dreary face. For the few weekends, I engaged in GOTV activities to help defend Hyde's seat from the Blue Wave. It was the first campaign that I taken part in. It was both exciting and exhausting. I am glad that my efforts paid off.
I followed this race since Duckworth was in my hubby's Bn....We are both glad she went down to defeat.....
Mark Kirk (R) in the adjoining district also won in a fairly close race. However, Melissa Bean (D) won a second term in Phil Crane's old seat. Unfortunately, the NW Chicago suburbs are becoming less Republican over time.
