Read this story in Wednesday's Chicago Daily Observer about Congressional District 14 and the Foster victory/Oberweis loss.
Here's something I've been discussing about this situation: "What is really happening in the 14th and other exurban districts is political and demographic change. It is the change we saw first in suburban Cook County, where the red-blue balance keeps moving toward the Democrats. Similar gains are being made throughout the collar counties—look at Will and Lake."
My district just isn't the staunchly conservative Republican area it was some years ago. The reality is that Republicans need to understand that and not take their voters for granted.
