| Description | National Republicans see hope for a resurgence in President Barack Obama's home state -- and they're coming here this week to help move it along.
With a cloud hanging over Democrats after the arrest of Gov. Rod Blagojevich and voter angst over the economy and proposed tax hikes, GOP bigwigs on Capitol Hill are looking to win over several suburban districts in Illinois.
In fact, hopes are now so high at the national level, Republicans are even looking to find a serious contender against U.S. Rep. Melissa Bean, a Barrington Democrat who appeared to solidify her standing in the Northwest suburban 8th District years ago. |
