If Walsh picks this up, the Repubs will have picked up FOUR -- Count'em -- FOUR congressional seats in Illinois. I don't think they have ever done that before in any of our lifetimes.

Hmmm. Nothing in the article about the thousands of graveyard provisionals that demoncrats can always count on...

And a Republican Governor?

I think we can thank Ms. Hyphen Named Feminist Moderator and the patriots at the debate between Walsh and Bean for this victory. Ms. Feminazi’s refusal to say the pledge gave this race some publicity and likely pushed Walsh over the edge.

Dold is no prize but he is also no Kirk. That would be four and a half.

Sadly, it is very likely that this lasts one election. The Democrats won the governorship and still have state control, including SOS. They will control redistricting, have the numbers to do it however they want, own the Governor’s office and SOS, and the judges.

They will redistrict Welsh’s seat easily, and likely Kinzinger, Hultgren, and possibly Roskam (depending on what they do with the Northeast of the district). It will be easy pickings, thanks to the concentrated Democrat vote in specific areas, like Cook County.

We will likely lose three seats right away in 2012. It could be 1-2 more, if we are unlucky. That’s the cold, hard truth.

I have been waiting for Walsh to deploy his ultimate secret weapon . . .
