Her campaign released a poll yesterday showing it 44-43 Pollster has the 5 poll average at 44.8% Duckworth to 43.2% Roskam. It’s going to come down to turnout so take the day off–I’d be up there if I had any vacation.
Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
Her campaign released a poll yesterday showing it 44-43 Pollster has the 5 poll average at 44.8% Duckworth to 43.2% Roskam. It’s going to come down to turnout so take the day off–I’d be up there if I had any vacation.
Phil Hare is looking safer with CQ moving him from Democratic Lean to Democratic Favored. Besides just being a crappy candidate, Zinga isn’t raising much cash in a quite difficulty District to run in. IL-08 Leans Democratic IL-10 Republican Favored because of the political environment IL-06 Pure Toss up. Hastert and Shimkus are mentioned, but […]
Is that he’s attacking her on an issue for which he absolutely refuses to say anything of consequence about except to Grover Norquist and friends. And for the record–it’s a good ad in terms of effect even if it’s a perfect example of truthiness. It’s exactly the kind of ad that makes Peter seem more […]
It’s just better to put them out there instead of trying to hide them. Trust me, I’ve seen a good self-immolation up close. In fact, the entire State of Illinois did.
It’ll end up being some sort of evil twin doing it all, but the Reader has a fascinating story on the number of properties Jerry Weller has reported buying in Nicaragua and how many local records in Nicaragua bear his name. Hint, the two don’t match.
They sue passengers in car accidents where the passenger is not the owner of the car. One of my favorite examples comes from Roskam and Salvi, Attorneys at Law. The defendant in the case, Jennifer Peeples, was an active duty member of the US Military who was unable to attend an arbitration hearing because she […]
The Levine hearing appears to be the make or break moment for Judy. Either the Levine evidence leads directly to the Governor or it leads to Chris Kelly. To Kelly, it’s more of the same to the average voter. To the Governor, she’s probably alive again. Just to clarify a poorly written post the other […]
Who knew? Is he 72? Ummm…if you are going to lose and are losing this round to build up your name for next round, don’t pull a stunt like this. It just hurts you. Rutherford has a reasonably good reputation amongst Democrats and independents generally like him, but this kind of crappy age baiting race-baiting […]
\ 5 More below the fold. Vote on your favorite in comments. I have a feeling I differ ideologically from whomever posted these, but I doubt the reaction is much different.
Just to start: But unlike single issue pro-life voters, Fox’s interest in the topic is completely altruistic. That’s right, it’s wholly self-centered. Playing for the sympathy of the electorate, Fox manipulates the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease to promote stem cell research while at the same time bashing pro-lifers who are opposed to human embryonic stem […]

The entire point is to provide voters with reasons to vote a certain way and frankly, the Tribune pretty much hits the points I’d make. Down and Up ballot, I I may make some endoresment. That said, I largely agree with this. The only thing to add is that while I find Rutherford interesting, he’s […]
Stu Who? Seriously, the point of running to not win is to win next time. Do you think anyone remember who you are?
If it isn’t entirely clear by now, if I lived in Illinois I wouldn’t vote for Rod Blagojevich or Rich Whitney. And I wouldn’t be entirely happy about my vote for Governor. That said, sweet Jesus this is one of the worst campaign cycles I’ve ever observed. The incumbent doesn’t have just one investigation such […]
