Foster also got the nod for the special election to fill the remainder of Hastert's term. I was so hoping to get a really good candidate to run against the republican fat cat Oberwies who thinks he is heir apparent to Hastert's seat. This mope Foster will be trounced by the milkman. Neither has any platform, and Oberweis has Oberweis dairies' money.
