On the House side, Republicans picked up seats in IL-11, IL-14, and IL-17. Robert Dold appears to be hanging on in IL-10, which would be a crucial GOP hold. And in the surprise of the night, IL-08 is going down to the wire. Melissa Bean is in real danger of losing to flawed Republican candidate Joe Walsh.
In the Governor's race, incumbent Pat Quinn holds a microscopic lead over Bill Brady.
All in all, it's already a great night for Illinois Republicans, and it could get better.
UPDATE: Dold wins in IL-10. Big, big hold for the GOP.
