• Gop: District Maps May Face Court Fight

SPRINGFIELD - A new redistricting plan favoring congressional Democrats and cutting Republicans off from their strongest supporters was shoved through the Legislature at the last minute and could face a legal challenge, say GOP officials. Pro wrestling is more authentic than the transparency they used in this process," Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady said Tuesday, hours after the Illinois Senate approved the plan.

Given Keyes' distaste for a GOP star, who is scheduled to speak at the upcoming Republican convention, and his disdain for political expediency, why would he, a Marylander, accept the Illinois Republican Party's eleventh hour ...

• Conservative Spotlight: Renew Illinois

Scandals have rocked the Illinois Republican Party in recent years, perhaps making the anti-corruption opening to the contract a wise choice.
