Democrats Take Hastert’s Seat In Illinois
March 9, 2008
Might this be a sign of what is to come in the 2008 elections? Republicans must really start worrying about losing even more seats in Congress. According to the Associated Press, the republicans lost an important seat in a special election held yesterday in Illinois.
Nearly two years after taking control of Congress, the Democrats have claimed another prize by capturing former GOP House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s seat - a development that Republicans say is not a harbinger of things to come.
The longtime Republican district fell to the Democrats Saturday when wealthy scientist and businessman Bill Foster snatched the seat in a closely watched special election.
