Bernard Schoenburg covers a couple Senate stories yesterday reporting a month old Hynes poll with the recent Fox poll. Hynes’ camp made public a poll last week that shows their candidate in the lead. Hynes had support from 26 percent of likely Democratic primary voters. Other totals were 15 percent for MARIA PAPPAS, the Cook […]

Eric Zorn has a lengthy discussion of how news organizations should approach journalists’ blogs and I think it is an excellent take on the issue.

He has had three recent columns that deal with it including one that addresses a new effort by State Senator Maggie Crotty and Lt. Governor Pat Quinn.

He is right, he was treated […]

1. Jack Ryan. Top of the poll even though everyone is in the margin of error. Appealing to those who aren’t even that familiar with him. Seems to have the intangible of charisma. 2. Steve Rauschenberger. Lot’s of help from Lege supporters and straddles the line between the moderate and conservatives. Continuing budget problems play […]

Thanks, looks like the 50,000 hit came from Kos. Pretty amazing for being up just over a year and being largely centered on state and local politics.
