The Hill has a brief roundup of the 6th Congressional District race. I’m told that the Roskam numbers are accurate.

Republican state Sen. Peter Roskam is expected to report later this month having raised more than $380,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005, ending the year with approximately $825,000 in the bank.

Roskam is seeking the seat being vacated by Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.).

Democrats in Washington were cheered last month by the entry into the race of former Black Hawk pilot Tammy Duckworth, who lost two limbs while serving in Iraq.

Contending that Hyde’s solidly GOP 6th District is trending Democratic — his Democratic challenger, Christine Cegelis, gave the Republican his most spirited race in years in 2004 — Democrats say the time is ripe, with the president’s sinking poll numbers, for a Democratic pickup.

Republicans scoff at that logic, noting that while Republicans have rallied around Roskam, Democrats are mired in a primary. Despite leading Democrats’ having thrown their support behind Duckworth, Cegelis, who launched her second House bid shortly after losing her first, remains popular among local Democrats.

Hiram has some info on Lindy Scott’s fundraising at Illinoize.

This is a 6th District open thread.
