In somewhat shocking news my weak willed and spineless Representative Brad Schneider (IL-10) decided to step out of his hole of temerity and... hand the GOP their biggest victory since 11/04.

It should come as no surprise, but as a life long liberal in Illinois' 10th Congressional District, I have major issues with my congressional representation. After years of suffering (to put it mildly) under Mark Kirk and Bob Dold, the district finally elected a Democrat in Brad Schneider who decided to vote like a Republican. There are literally a vast list of bills I could cite, but most galling was when Schneider sided with Ted Cruz and voted against Obamacare. Democrat? Hardly

But, it is now becoming painfully clear that Illinois Democrats have to act quickly or else he is going to hand this district right back to Bob Dolt.

When Repug Ex Congressman Bob Dold received the endorsement of the US Chamber Of Commerce, I received a panicked email from my (barely) tolerable (wet fish) Congressman Brad Schneider pleading with me for money to help him out.

I didn't oblige and boy am I glad now.

Yes, Illinois is a pretty solidly red state.

Despite the fact that "Democrats" currently have a supermajority in the legislature and control the Governor's mansion, Illinois is a red state.

Despite the fact that that "Democrats" have controlled all three branches of government for eleven consecutive years, Illinois is a red state.

Despite the fact that "Democrats" have been the majority in the house for 28 of the last 30 years Illinois is a solidly red state.

In fact, now has never been a better time to be a fiscal conservative in Illinois.

So Brad Schneider agrees with Ted Cruz, at least a little bit

Brad Schneider, in his mystifying quest to become exactly like Mark Kirk and Bob Dold, apparently saw wisdom in helping Republicans defund Obamacare. Thankfully, he did not vote to delay the law a year. He decided to do the next worst thing.

In 2012 we were finally able to wrest the Illinois 10th out of the hands of Republicans. Can we do even better in 2014?
