How much has it changed since the redistricting?

5. Goes back and forth. It was Melissa Bean's district. Before that Phil Crane and Dan Rostinkowski.
A little conservative leaning but Walsh was a total fluke. It's long been gettable but you can't be too liberal. My town just got moved to this district from the 6th.

should be able to beat Joe Walsh. But, it's now got a chunk of Hastert's old district, filled w/$200K@year fools looking to become "millionaires". So, yeah, it'll be an uphill fight. In a related story, Debbie Halvorson lost to this twit Kinzinger, who now "represents" me. But, redistricting has put her in a place to run against Jesse, Jr. His district got redrawn where most of his black constituents were spread to the west and north in an effort to make 2 black majority districts were there was only one, which is good. Given that and the recent spate of investigations surrounding him, he might be toast.
