In a segment on the 13th Congressional District race tonight, ABC 7's Charles Thomas reported that GOP Rep. Judy Biggert is "openly worried about the effect of Democrat Barack Obama on her reelection campaign." Thomas later featured a clip of Biggert playing up the potential split-tickets in the district (at least in terms of yard signs). He wrapped up the segment by reporting that the Republican incumbents in tight contests in the Chicago suburbs are "no longer criticizing the Democratic presidential candidate, not wanting to antagonize so many Obama voters." Watch it:
(UPDATE: The Cook Political Report has downgraded IL-13 from "Solid Republican" to "Likely Republican.")
Speaking of Obama's support in the 13th District, Huffington Post Chicago highlights a tidbit we missed this morning:
Harris Fawell, former congressman for the 13th Congressional District, is backing a Democrat for president for the first time in his life. The 79-year-old Republican said there's a good chance that Obama will carry the county.
"He's the best I have seen, the most qualified I've ever seen running for president," Fawell said.
Comments
The reporter is a Republican. He used "Democrat" as an adjective when describing Scott Harper when Democrats and independents would have used "Democratic".
Biggert is partially made vulnerable by Obama doing well, but part of her problem is her lackluster record and her diminished mental acuity.
I noticed that too, Carl.
