Illinois isn’t nearly as difficult for the GOP as Cali or NY and as others said, it took a perfect storm. I wonder if there just hadn’t been the Blagojevich scandal surrounding the seat, if that would’ve been enough to narrowly keep it in the Democratic column. Also, I don’t think IL Democrats were terribly popular that year due to having the trifecta (both nationally and in IL) and the economy being bad. Quinn won, but just barely against a Republican too right-wing for the state.
