Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Illinois) is considered an ideal candidate for a blue state.

Illinois is generally regarded as safe for Democrats , owing in large part to its strongholds upstate.

Republicans insist that the state is still in play with Sen. Durbin ’s retirement.

Durbin 's retirement gives Republicans one of those “few and far’s between opportunities to fill an open seat, Del Mar said.

Del Mar is not predicting a contested GOP primary for the Senate seat, a trap the party has fallen into in the last few cycles.

“We’re ready for a conservative that means business, so I want a fighter in there,” the official said.
