Sounds like this is a strong rat district?

The district is very heavily RAT, after all it's mostly made up of the north side of Chicago. It's considered safe Dem. However, it did go Republican once in recent years -- Republican Michael Patrick Flannigan won it for a single term in 1994 when his opponent Rostencowski was under indictment.

The thinking is with the whole Blago/Emanuel scandal dominating the headlines for months, we have an opening to win this seat again -- at least in theory.

Ya think ?

Less than 4000 votes in a district of 600,000 people?
