Democratic challenger sees red over GOP attempts to politicize relationship between Israel and the United States.
Both Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) and Democratic challenger Brad Schneider of Deerfield agree with President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Iran should not have nuclear weapons but are not in complete harmony on the approach.

A conservative group organizes the meeting and progressives fill the room to protest.
A standing room only crowd of more than 100 people from all political persuasions peppered Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) with questions about job creation, the Bush era tax cuts and the Koch brothers—David and Charles—at a Town Hall meeting Saturday in Vernon Hills. The event was sponsored and heavily promoted by Americans for Prosperity (AFP), an organization founded by David Koch, according to the group's website.

National Democrats give local candidates some campaign tips.
Before Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) was sworn into office in January, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) decided his 10th Congressional District seat was one it could win in 2012. Nearly five months later, Ilya Sheyman, a community organizer from Waukegan, has formally announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination to oppose Dold. Bradley S.

Special schooling from Plouffe, Pelosi Sheyman and Schneider were two of 34 congressional candidates to receive special schooling at a training session conducted by the DCCC in Washington. The national party has made the …

Emily’s List threatens to target freshman congressman in 2012 campaign.
Politics may have played as big a role as policy when Emily’s List placed Rep. Robert Dold (R-IL) on its "On Notice List" last week. Emily’s List, a group dedicated to electing Democratic women to office, has named Dold among nine Republicans who it considers vulnerable to a female challenger and may allocate resources to defeat the congressman in 2012. The organization claims Dold's record is consistently “anti-woman” since joining Congress in January. “The budget that Rep. Dold voted for included just about every anti-woman measure under the sun,” said Jess McIntosh, spokeswoman for the Washington-based group. “It would eliminate the family planning services women rely on to keep themselves and their families healthy.” McIntosh's …
