[Non-Sequitur]

Lauzen was the victim of a smear campaign (which included disparities on his ethnic heritage), was opposed by the RINORat Combine (including Hastert), and massively outspent. He was also the only one of the two that could’ve handily won that Congressional seat.

So in other words the next guy knows just how to beat him again.

Oberweis is a rich, flipflopping liberal a$$hole who has never even been able to win an office. Unlike Lauzen, who has been elected since 1992 to the IL State Senate. Oberweis’s disgusting and sleazy conduct during the campaign resulted in his loss in the special (and an even wider loss in the general when he refused to step aside). But, hey, the GOP faction of the Combine is always happy to have a Democrat win in the absence of a corrupt RINO, and they got their wish.
