Gubernatorial Race
- Rich Whitney, the Green Party Gubernatorial candidate, gets profiled, as does Lex Green, the Libertarian Party nominee. This as Whitney is about to join Pat Quinn and Bill Brady for a debate next Monday. Meanwhile, Joe Biden appears again to campaign for Pat Quinn, who is selling his soul to the union vote. And slamming Brady for making money. Brady, for his part, is focused on the budget and downplays his socially conservative bona fides. But liberals in the press are shocked, shocked that social services might be cut if Brady gets elected.
Senatorial Race
- The negative revelations about Alexi Giannoulias just keep pouring in — this time that he worked to give loans to a convicted criminal. Giannoulias is trying to spin it away, but Kirk’s campaign isn’t buying it and takes him to task in a new ad:
- Meanwhile, the Green Party is being cute about the Meet the Press debate. And MoveOn.org has an ad of its own to use against Mark Kirk using the same ridiculous attack line Obama used in his infamous recent speech:
- The Examiner, however, can’t seem to let Kirk’s fibs about his war record go. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama’s fundraiser tickets outsell her husband’s.
House Races
- Phil Hare, Democrat of IL-17, is in trouble, and doesn’t seem to notice, given his continued defenses of his left-wing record.
- Jan Schakowsky of IL-9 pays some historical tributes. This while her opponent, Joel Pollak, takes on both her and 10th district candidate Dan Seals in his newest press release. Seals, for his part, isn’t sitting pretty — his race has garnered a lot of national attention.
- Meanwhile, over in IL-14, Republican Randy Hultgren hits the economic message hard. He should be glad — his race has shifted from “Lean Democrat” to “Toss-up” according to The Hill.
