Axelrod: Dems Worked Hard to Keep IL Seat
CHICAGO (AP) -- President Barack Obama's top adviser says both the president and the Democratic Party will work hard to keep Obama's old Senate seat.

David Axelrod says it's wrong to think that what happened in Massachusetts will happen around the country or in Illinois.

A Republican won the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's seat in a special election last week.

Axelrod was in Chicago on Monday to speak at the center where his daughter with developmental disabilities lives.

He avoided weighing in on Illinois' contentious gubernatorial race. He says he's glad to be in Washington because so many of his friends are running against each other.
