BlueDemKev (607 posts) Sat Oct-23-10 05:47 PMOriginal messageIllinois....WTF???? Another poll came out today showing that Giannoulias is still trailing Kirk by 2 points. WHAT IS THE DEAL???? Illinois has been a reliably blue state for quite some time, plus it's Obama's home state! Can't Jesse Jackson go to Chicago and rally African-Americans to get out and vote? Come on, Democrats! WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS SEAT!!!

I know many think of Michigan that way but in many cases it is a pretty close, hard fought battle. We can't really take many of the reliably blue states for granted.Julie

Yeah, probably for the opposite outcome you wish. Have you seen the imposter's record so far?!
The deal, DUmmie, is that the combination of crooked banker, scion of an Italian crime family, and Chicago machine politician is just too much even for a lot of the Dems in Illinois to take.
Kirk isn't exactly a strong conservative, but I'd much rather have him win than Alexi.The NY Slimes gives the race this rating: 64% Chance of Republican winFiveThirtyEight Forecast Giannoulias Kirk Projected VoteMargin of Error: ± 5.4% 47.6% 49.3% Chance of Winning Seat 36.1% 63.9% http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/senate/illinois
Kirk may be somewhat of a RINO, but that's as close to a conservative as can get elected in Illinois. Unless Shitcago secedes it will stall that way.
This used to be Peter Fitzgerald's seat and he was as conservative as we are.
No shit, and he was screwed almost as blatantly as Jack Ryan was.
Fitzgerald never ran for a second term. But Jack Ryan was certainly screwed out of that Senate nomination in 2004.
They need to send Biden there.He won't help the campaign any, but at least he'll be entertaining.
