In a recent fundraising appeal, GOP Rep. Peter Roskam noted Barack Obama's "14-point lead in his west suburban district," according to a report yesterday in Crain's.  The 6th District incumbent must be pretty scared because he's now launched an "Obama Voters For Roskam" website:

The site features a friendly 2004 quote from Obama -- who was Roskam's State Senate colleague at the time -- and includes testimonials from half a dozen 6th District residents.  If you click any of the links on the navigation bar, you're directed to Roskam's main campaign site.

Roskam's decision to tout his amicable relationship with Obama in this way is reminiscent of an ad produced by Sen. Gordon Smith that played up a complimentary statement from the Illinois senator.
