It actually didn't get more Republican, but slightly more Democratic.

The current district is D+3 and the new district is D+2 using the 2004 and 2008 presidential results. Keep in mind that Obama overperformed in IL as the favorite son, including parts of IL-12. The equivalent index in another state would probably be a couple points more R.

The district had to add population and areas just north and east could have been added as more reliably Dem. However, since there was a strong incumbent in Costello the district was set at D+2, while those areas I mentioned were used to make the new IL-13 which comes up as D+1. The possibly of a dummymander now looms if they lack a strong candidate or 2012 proves to be another GOP-favoring election.

Obama didn't overperform in IL-12, he only got 2% more than Kerry did.

Compared to similar areas in the Mid-South he did. Many of those areas trended away from the Dems compared to 2004.

It voted for Kerry, and is probably more Democratic down-ballot, so the Dem nominee should at least be favored.

   Debbie Halvosen is set to announce tomorrow that she will indeed challenge Jesse Jackson Jr in the Democratic primary in Il-2.  This will get interesting--a real barn burner-- especially if Aanthony Beale (Chicago 6th ward alderaman) also jumps into the race as rumblings have been going on.  No wonder JJJ is nervous about the remap.
  This race will be over in March after the primary however as governor Quinn got over 71% of the vote here vs Bill Brady back in 2010.

But isn't that a mirror image of Obama's overperformance in Illinois--a personal opposition that exceeds the partisan line?

My point is that without the connection between Obama and his home state, IL-12 would have had even lower performance for the Dems. The PVI there would probably not be D+2, but something closer to D+0.

But if someone other than Obama were running, the PVI might have been D+2 for other reasons, just as Missouri might have voted Democratic given the economic conditions of the time.

So did NY-9. This is probably another district in which the trend is not the friend of the Democratic party.

Dold is running in the 10th.

His first potential opponent? A 25 year old community organizer.

The community organizer gets the endorsement(s).

Hopefully the nutter can win the primary here.

  In other Illinois Congressional election news former State Rep Jay C. Hoffman who was going to run for the Democratic nomination in the new 13th district against Tim Johnsod decided to drop out and run for the Illinois 113th Assembly District instead.  113 was 52%-48% Dem in the last gubenetorial election, so he stands a much better chance of winning this race than he did the congressional one.

  Dist 2 JJJ --Ouch! He's in a heck of a pickle.

Joe Walsh is running in IL-08. Good riddance to that trash.

Tim Johnson. In return, Republicans cut his district in their alternative map.

Filing for the congressional primary is now closed. I've updated the previous post to reflect additions.

So, just Halvorson is running against JJJ? So much for that being interesting.

Lol, lots of vultures around Bobby Rush. He ain't dead yet, folks, and Illinois has no runoff.

Read elsewhere that Biggert and Foster are both about even in internals for both parties.

Certainly the easiest hold of the 4 for the GOP.

Do you have a link? That's intriguing, but I can't find it with Google.

No direct link other than what I read on RRH, which came from 'sources'. Biggert is of course the strongest incumbent in the weakest district and has a reputation of being a 'moderate'. She was certainly attacked by Peter Roskam as such in 1998.

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2012/01/illinois_house_ten_poll_puts_s.html

In the north suburban Illinois Tenth House Democratic primary contest, a new poll taken by a group backing Ilya Sheyman shows Sheyman ahead by two points of Brad Schneider but in a statistical tie.






Spectacular. Sheyman is of course Manan Trivedi but without the respectable Iraq War Physician background.
