GOP gets control of Ill. congressional delegation

The AP reports on another embarrassing Obama legacy:

Illinois has a GOP majority congressional delegation for the first time in seven years, as Republicans fueled by tea party support and voter discontent won four congressional seats Tuesday.

The trend in Illinois rippled nationwide as Republicans seized control of the House for the first time since 2006. A fifth Illinois race - between Democratic U.S. Rep. Melissa Bean and Republican Joe Walsh in Illinois' 8th congressional district - remained unexpectedly too close call early Wednesday.
