Jim Oh-fer-five

Democrat Bill Foster defeated Republican dairy magnate Jim Oberweis for the second time in the 14th Congressional District Tuesday night. That's Dennis Hastert's old seat. Foster won a special election to replace Dennis Hastert in March, and this time around Foster's margin of victory was even bigger than it was in the spring. Oberweis, for those of you who don't know, is the hypocritical anti-illegal immigration crusader who has now lost five elections: for U.S. Senate in 2002 and 2004, for governor in 2005 and now twice for Congress this year in Hastert's district.

Again I say it's time to hang it up, Jim.
