It’s getting worse now, Oberweis needs to start winning some precincts. At current rate only 120,000 people voted.

Man it's not looking good. I sure hope Obie pulls this off. Just when I think things couldn't get any worse in Illinois, both Hastert AND Weller's seats "in play" for the Dems (and ironically, Ray LaHood supposedly "swing" seat is proving to be as safe as it gets). So in theory the Illinois delegation could go from 10-9 Republican in 2000, to 10-9 Democrat in 2004, to 12-7 Democrat in 2008. Ugh. If the meltdown gets any worse they'll have every district in this state by 2020.

If Obie managers to lose a 60%+ registered Republican district, home to Ronald Reagan's boyhood town and designed to elect just about any "R" with a pulse, what will all his supporters say who DEMANDED we select this guy in 2006 because supposedly he was the "only" conservative who could take out Topinka and then "beat Blago"

I never understood why Obie has such a die-hard fan club in Illinois. He'd make a good party chair but I haven't supported him in any primary, and with good reason.

Thanks for the SunTimes link. It's not looking good right now.

But there's only 55% of precincts reporting.
