Race Analysis
Rep. Mark Kirk should probably be in worse shape than he is, but the four-term moderate Republican -- in a suburban Chicago district John Kerry won by 6 points but with soft party preferences -- has significantly outraised rerun candidate Dan Seals (D). Still, Seals has an excellent ground game and could feel the positive effects of Obama’s lengthy coattails north of the Democratic presidential nominee\'s home city.
