"How did this happen?"

Think about it and it might come to you.

We'll be hearing this question more and more.

*raises hand frantically* oh oh oh pick me, I know the answer, pick me pleeeeeease!!!

1) George Ryan was a democrat in Republican clothing and turned off alot of fence voters and so therefore they voted democratic

2) The dems got to redraw the districts this year and surprise surprise, they did a REALLY bad job

3) Someone got apathetic (hmmm, NRA or maybe it was us, did we think it wouldn't happen in Illinois because we are such a big hunting state?)

Did I get it right??????
