More details needed

edit

Now that it looks like Foster won, can we start filling in the kind of details about the ad campaign each side ran (for example Obama doing a Foster commercial), and some of what national newspapers are saying about it. I know at least one reporter called it a "bellweather" for what will happen in the fall. This is pretty interesting, as some reports were saying this district was pretty much drawn for a republican win. -Aknorals (talk) 02:54, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

State of the Illinois GOP

edit

Source: "But as much as the win by the little-known Foster reflected voters' desire for the elusive political factor of change, the election to finish out the retired Hastert's term that expires in January also was a referendum on Oberweis. And it symbolized the state of a listless GOP in Illinois that finds itself without a power base and plagued by infighting." (Pearson, Rick, Chicago Tribune, March 10, 2008)

While this does wander a little bit into commentary, I don't see that the text (or any summary writing from the text) is necessarily NPOV. —Rob (talk) 16:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
