Admin Note (7/30): A memo obtained by the Chicago Tribune shows Seals with a 46-38 lead over Dold. [end note]
Yesterday the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee outlined the key battle grounds for the fall election. The DCCC invested $49 million to reserve air time for 56 districts which will be crucial for the party in November. The 10th district is among them.

Furthermore, according to Greg Sargent at the Washington Post, the 10th is one of the most significant opportunities for Democrats to win a Republican seat.
