39. Tough

Most of the time, Democrats from those 18 districts get used for target practice. Question: do you think they'd have voted this way if the margin was narrower and bill's passage had been on the line? This was a safe vote for them, because of the margin. What's your sense of what they'd have done if the numbers weren't so sure?

Per above comment, I'm leaping to the assumption that the IL Rep. is in southern IL and not an urban district, as southern IL is far more conservative than the Lakes region of the state.
