From the Courier News:
Illinois Republicans say they have a chance to win in November if they can capitalize on Democrats’ legislative gridlock and fend off Obamamania.
GOP faithful gathered at the state fair Thursday and rallied outside the Capitol with an “agenda for action” in hopes of putting a dent in Democratic armor this fall. Democrats control every statewide office and both houses of the General Assembly.
Complicating their plans is Barack Obama, the Illinois senator who is the Democrat’s expected presidential nominee.
“I don’t know how you go down further,” said DuPage County State’s Attorney Joe Birkett, who’s considering a 2010 run for governor or attorney general, offices he’s failed to win before.
