Super news: Democrats take Dennis Hastert’s seat
(AP) Dem. Wins Election to Fill Hastert Seat
CHICAGO (AP) — A longtime Republican district fell to the Democrats Saturday when a scientist snatched former House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s congressional seat in a closely watched special election.
Democrat Bill Foster won 52 percent of the vote compared to 48 percent for Republican Jim Oberweis. With 558 of 568 precincts reporting, Foster had 50,451 votes to Oberweis’ 45,741.
Foster’s special election win means he will fill the remainder of Hastert’s term, which ends in January. The two will square off again in November, for a new, full term.
The 66-year-old Hastert, who lost his powerful post as speaker when Democrats took control of Congress, resigned late last year.
The race between Foster and Oberweis spawned a contentious campaign that saw both men turn to high-profile supporters to help sway voters in the longtime GOP district.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama made a TV ad praising Foster; Oberweis had fundraising help from the apparent Republican nominee, John McCain, and Hastert’s backing.
“It is a stunning rejection of the Bush Administration, its Republican allies, and presidential nominee John McCain,” said Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen in a statement.
Consider this a friendly reminder of just what sort of opportunity the Democrats have this year — assuming, of course, they can somehow manage to avoid blowing it by getting too nasty in the presidential nomination process.

I did much of my growing up in Naperville, Illinois during the 1960’s, so I am very glad to hear this.
Naperville is not in the district, but is immediately adjacent to the district.
I think Hastert briefly went to the college that I went to in Naperville.
I remember Oberweis Dairy, but it was just a name to me then.
