1. Ryan. But hanging on the skin of his teeth. Being the frontrunner means everyone guns for you. Shouldn’t have sent a negative mailing about Oberweis–he wasn’t going anywhere. Instead provide a positive message. If he loses, he’ll blame the whispering, but the reality will be he slung too much mud while Rauschenberger snuck up.
2. Rauschenberger. Bloggers are largely united that he’ll do better. One, generally Steve is likable and honest so we want him to do better. Two, he is likable and honest and the voters like him. 3. He’s been able to stay out of the mud and no one is touching him meaning he doesn’t get hit with negative mailers. While everyone else is torn down, Steve is riding good media.
3. Oberweis. Won’t move up tomorrow because too many negative ads. If Ryan goes down, he and Borling are the reason. Oberweis just kept whacking at Ryan until it started to stick.
4. McKenna. Playing some hardball, but no compelling reason to run.
5. Borling. Pick up some last minute pro-choice votes amongst Republican women in the burbs, but not much.
6. Wright. Steady, but boring. As this is the last Cattle Call, thank goodness, I was running out of material.
7. Kathuria. Resume to include stints at a major Paper company, furniture store owner, and successful litigant in suing major daily papers.
