illinois redistricting gave her more dems, and i think she has a serious chance. i think that dems stayed home in 2010 out of frustration with melissa bean. i don't think they will make that mistake again.
her last race was not in this district, but in 6th, henry hyde's old district. much better chance, and i think she has a high level of support from the party.
