Three hot Illinois primary winners have been added to the National Republican Congressional Committee’s (NRCC) “Young Guns” list of top recruits for 2010.

Added to the list were Bob Dold (10th District), Adam Kinzinger (11th District), and Randy Hultgren (14th District).

Now, being “young” isn’t necessarily the only criteria for being added to the NRCC’s young guns list. Let’s face it Bob Dold and Randy Hultgren are hardly spring chickens! Seriously, what this does is open these candidates for campaign assistance from the NRCC and the national party.

As Representative Pete Sessions (R, TX) said, “As these challengers continue to meet the benchmarks we have set for them, they are ready to hold Democrats accountable for the unpopular big-government agenda they continue to push at the expense of economic recovery.”

Of course, I will be closely following all these Illinois “young guns.”
