Hopefully, A Trend Starts

In the special election held to fill former Speaker Dennis "Super Size Me" Hastert's seat (and that's a big "seat" to fill, bwahahaha), Democrat Bill Foster won by a good margin. This congressional district has been reliably conservative Rethuglican for decades, and the Rethugs poured $1.2 million into the race to hold on to the seat. Ominous for the Rethugs, and hopeful for the Dems.
