8 Days to the Election
Gubernatorial Race
- Pat Quinn and Bill Brady can’t even keep their claws off each other in Church. In fact, a Pat Quinn supporter even drops the dreaded “r-word” against Brady. Also, what is it with Democrats and modeling their campaigns after Glee? Geography is also playing a big part in the Governors’ race, with Quinn focusing on (surprise, surprise) Chicago, and Brady focusing everywhere else.
Senatorial Race
- The Chicago Sun-Times tries to be nice and make both Giannoulias and Kirk out to be good guys. Kirk’s starting to ever so slightly pull away. He also has another newspaper endorsement. Meanwhile, Giannoulias is getting investigated, but not until after the elections. He also wants the federal government to bail out Illinois. And is a draft dodger. In Greece. Yeah.
House Races
- IL-14 is heating up. Democrat Bill Foster is firing back against negative campaigning by his opponent, Randy Hultgren. Both he and Hultgren also endeavor to answer questions on health care. It figures that this race is one of the two most important in Illinois, according to the DNC. But Hultgren has some big names behind him, too, like the NRA.
- The Chicago Tribune is displeased with Dan Seals in the 10th District. That is all.
- There are now as many as ten reasons why Phil Hare should lose in IL-17. Also, he has union support, but that’s pretty much it. The race just was shifted into the “Leans GOP” column.
