4 Democrats face off in Illinois 10th District

February 15, 2012 9:38PM

Democrats in the 10th Congressional District have an enviable problem:

No matter whom they vote for in the March primary, they’ll be voting against several other highly credible candidates.

--------

The 10th has been redrawn to include more Democratic turf — 61 percent of the new district’s voters went for Barack Obama in 2008 — making incumbent Republican Bob Dold more vulnerable in November.

---------

There is Ilya Sheyman, at 25 just old enough to serve in Congress. He’s a community organizer and is allied with the strongly liberal wing of the Democratic Party. He was national mobilization director for the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org, and he received a $10,000 donation from Democracy for America, the PAC founded by Howard Dean, the lefty former governor of Vermont.

This is not a swing district by any means, though the media will pretend it will be.
