The last time a 'Rat Senator from Illinois was unseated by a Republican was in 1966, when RINO Charles Percy unseated Paul Douglas. Unless I'm badly mistaken, Fitzgerald himself unseated Moseley-Braun six years ago.

{They (IL suburbs) are skeptical of tax increases and 'Rat spending programs}
I live in Du Page County, IL. It is an IL GOP suburb that is slowly trending RAT. It isn't just cultural issues that are moving the suburbs to the RATS.
White collar suburbanites love social service programs too. When they speak of welfare reform or tax cuts, they mean cut govt spending in the South Side of Chicago. However, when you start reciting the Libertarian platform to them, they will oppose any cuts in govt spending for their communities. Last April, most ballot initiatives to raise taxes for govt education passed in the Chicago suburbs. Hence, the RINO suburbs support increased govt spending for their benefit.

Steve Neal: "The last time that Republicans won an open seat for the U.S. Senate in Illinois was in 1928. In the 75 years since then, four Republcians have ousted sitting Democratic senators. But a GOP candidate hasn't won an open senatorial seat since Big Bill Thompson was mayor of Chicago."
