Looking at the Ill. 18th Cong. Dist. on the map, it seems it would be more red than blue. How conservative is the 18th?

This supports the notion there are no differences between the two parties.

Because it is Illinois, I would guess that the Governor will pick his replacement. That will really p**s off the Dems who would have never anticipated a R Governor. That said, Republican doesn’t mean so much anymore.

...in the *taxpayer-funded* gym, one of the scores of perks Congress critters and Senate poobahs receive. So many, in fact, they fill a 4-inch thick binder each member is presented.
To: Alas Babylon!
I’m not from Illinois so I really can’t say. It looks as though this guy liked living the high life at taxpayer’s expense. Bring back the stocks and tar and feathering.

He seemed like an idiot.
Maybe he’ll rise again as a Democrat.
To: gorush
Is it the governor? I tried a few searches, (perhaps the wording wasn’t right), I’m not sure how they do the replacement in Ill.

Governors do not pick replacement members of the House of Representatives. The seat remains vacant until a special election is held.

Why aren't Republican candidates vetted before the election? Democrats would have readily endorsed this charlatan!

When a Congressman resigns, a special election must be called.

Just by reading the headline, I knew it was a Republican

Democrats rarely resign....
