Muon2 is seeming to suggest that the Obama factor is making past voting results in these CD's usually unreliable, now that the bloom is off the Obama rose, even in Illinois, outside Chicago anyway, and in particular during off year elections. He is also seeming to suggest that suburban Chicago has an unusual number of swing voters in this polarized national environment, where swing voters are so thin on the ground in general out there on the Fruited Plain, at least compared to what Obama generated down ballot during his heyday outside Chicago, vis a vis now. Do I have this "interpretation" and elaboration of what you posted remotely accurate Muon2?
If my interpretation of what Muon2 said is at least somewhat right, and there is at least a discernible swing to the Pubs vis a vis the last cycle, to the surprise of most, then Illinois has the potential of turning into a Dem bloodbath relatively speaking. In short, Illinois will have a more robust "trend" vis a vis national numbers, to the Pubs this election cycle.
