Grundy County Board member Chris Balkema is considering running for IL-11 on the Republican side. State Sen. Chris Lauzen (whom we may remember as the only person ever to lose an election to Jim Oberweis) was considering it but decided to run for Kane County Board Chair instead.

I'm not sure why Balkema is considering running in the 11th,

Duh!

1) He is eligible to run.


2) He believes either he can win, or he can "win" by losing.


3) He believes 2) is more likely in this district than any other district.

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

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