I believe it is the coservative part of IL. Northern and deep south are the liberal terretories. Not sure about his district, but it has largely gone republican by a significant majority in the past.

Republicans would be expected to win a general election, but a special election could create special problems for the GOP....

This is definitely not breaking news in illinois. Chicago tribune noted this several weeks ago. Another example of how journalists are incapable of reporting accurately and timely.

Two years too late, but I’m glad he’s leaving. I’ll never forgive his ‘congress is above the law’ insanity in regards to Jefferson.
NEVER.

I thought he’d already announced this. The LAT is just recycling old news to make things look worse for the GOP.

I thought hed already announced this. The LAT is just recycling old news to make things look worse for the GOP. I remember reading several weeks ago that Hastert was not going to seek reelection in 2008, but I can't recall if it mentioned anything about resigning the seat early.

When does the mass retirement of Democrats start? I guess they can’t give up the socialist power. It seems like it’s always Republicans retiring lately.

Actually this is going well. Safe GOP seats are being vacated soon enough to provide some seniority and name recognition to the new occupants, which helps their fundraising for the next general election and ensures safe GOP seats stay safe.

Does these mean there’s a pending indictment in the works? Methinks he doth protest way too much about that whole William Jefferson affair.

Time for some "new blood" who is willing to step up to the plate and "fight the good fight."
Hastert, like many others who ran as conservatives, just ran out of steam and got tired of being pushed by both sides - RINOs and hard chargers.

Like Michel, no tears will be shed! The above is the equivalent of admitting you don't follow politics.
