I haven't been posting much here because I've been busy helping out with Bill Foster's victorious run for Congress in IL-14. When I have posted, it's been at Prairie State Blue, where there's more people to talk to. Also, Georgia10 from DKos frontpaged one of my posts from PSB here. There's also a lot more bandwidth being chomped up over at PSB, so you may have trouble with the site.
I've posted over there how proud I am of Illinois Democrats coming together to get Bill elected, but it's definitely worth mentioning again. People from every corner of the state and every campaign organization or club came out to pound the pavement and make calls, including our very own Democratic candidate in IL-06, Jill Morgenthaler. This victory truly does belong to every last one of us who yearn for change in our government and won't settle for less.
Last night, after the polls closed, I spent several hours at the Aurora Election Commission watching the returns unfold with everyone's favorite Republican blogger, OneMan, who is a very cool guy. He was crushed over Oberweis' miserable defeat. I gloated for a bit but, being me, felt kind of bad for OneMan after a while (that's him in the photo).

Well life does go on and don't feel bad about giving me a hard time. It's a great picture...
So now that the 14th race is over, will the DuPage Dems shift fire and kick Jill Morgenthaler's campaign in gear?

I don't know, JPR. I'm not really sure what Jill is up to these days. As I mentioned in a previous post, she called me not too long ago, which I appreciated.
I know that northern Illinois Dems are very excited about Dan Seals' and Daniel Biss' races. Daniel is my friend, so I'll be trying to focus on his race as well as Bill Foster's general election.
That is great news Bridget. If Obama is on top of the ticket, we can expect to see a lot of Dems in close races get seated. I would love to see Dan Seals and Daniel Biss win (and Foster secure his slot as well!)
Is Jill th eonly candidate in the 6th? It would be nice to have a united front of Dems in the 6th.
The only Congressional candidate? I believe so. I'm not sure if there is a Green running, but I hope not.
