There has to be some bad news too...Dems control the process in IL, although Cook County has lost nearly a full seat. However there is enough of a core to protect all 7 Democrat seats in Chicagoland. The 8th could be eliminated, and the 10th may get some new Democrats.
We have an 11-8 advantage currently in Illinois. Unfortunately Bill Brady’s loss means that flips to something like 6-12.
There’s just too much blue voters in Chicago to spread out.

North Carolina.
Goes from 7 Democrats to either 4 or 5, depending on if Shuler can be beaten.
Each R district is 55+ McCain %.
