DescriptionThe 19 members of the Illinois Republican Party's State Central Committee will meet at noon Tuesday at Chicago's Union League Club to hear from candidates interested in replacing Jack Ryan as the GOP's U.S. Senate nominee.

IL GOP State Chairman Judy Baar Topinka has been quoted in the press saying Barack Obama's Republican opponent will be chosen at this meeting, although some State Central Committee members have expressed skepticism regarding the prospect of making a final decision on Tuesday. The replacement nominee will be chosen by each Central Committee member casting a vote weighted to reflect the strength of recent Republican turnout in the U.S. Congressional District represented by each member.
