There is a typo, but more of a Freudian slip. Bob Dold is not a Democrat...technically, but he doesn't like calling himself a Republican either.

Interesting results. Looks like all 4 Illinois R tea party candidates/lawmakers elected in 2010 were defeated in this election. Illinois remains a moderate state not too far left or right but in the middle or moderate fiscal and social policy. Next step is to clean up the budget deficits in a reasonable manor and move on for the benefit of middle class not just a few of either the far right or left so we all benefit together. Come-0n people it's time to grow-up and be responsile citizens.

True, but what about Randy Hultgren? While not a Tea Party candidate per se, his voting record and constituent letters pandered so heavily to the Tea Party crowd, it is hard not to consider him as such. For instance, his suggestion that we privatize the public roadways!

One has to remember that the districts were all redrawn to (heavily) favor the Dems, so really no surprise on the congressional races. One has to shake their head, however when one who was booted out by his peers was voted back in, and another who has been absent for months was also re-elected. Put a corpse on the ballot with a -D next to his name and some will automatically vote for the corpse.

It looks like the Democrats got their way by changing the district zones in their favor.
