A seat formerly held by the Speaker of the House goes to the Democrats!

8. Obama helped campaign for this guy, right? This proves Obama has coattails!

12. Foster won it on his own, no more credit is due to Obama than Durbin.

Foster is a totally qualified candidate. Give him the credit.

14. This one IS thanks to Obama

My father lives in IL-14. I can tell you that it was absolutely bombarded with the Obama for Foster TV ad. Also, Obama sent out emails to his donors asking them to phone bank for Foster and whatnot.

Obama pulled out all the stops for this one.
