Illinois Primary Thread

[Sam Spade]

Odd that the AP hasn't called it for Kirk yet.

The AP is either slow or stupid and often both.

Surprising that Dold won the IL-10 primary. Coulson would have been a better candidate.

What did the Cook County Board President do to piss everyone off so much?

Anyone knowledgable about IL willing to speculate as to whether Hoffman still has a realistic shot?

Maybe. Chicago suburbs aren't really in yet, and they'll decide this.

Quinn's narrow lead is finally crumbling...

No, its not surprising, really. But a big shame.

Lean Dem Takeover.

Indeed.

  Cook County Board President--ask tommorrow after the elcetion.  A book could be written about what he did to tick everybody off.  It would be easier to write out what he did that din't tick anybody off.  He was totally unqualified for the job to begin with.

Really? I guess I hadn't really been following the race, but I assumed the moderate State Senator would beat the random businessman. I think she could have potentially held the seat (especially if that idiot Seals is nominated for a third time).

[Sam Spade]

Looking at the general weakness/lackluster performances of a lot of other candidates tonight, this further reaffirms my belief about Kirk being a very formidable candidate, regardless of what race he's in.

  Scott Lee Cohen is winning the Dem Lite Gov race.  He's a pawn broker by trade.  Given Illinois' financial situation, it might not be long before the state needs a pawn broker!!

I think Coulson went all Coakley in the primary; she assumed she'd be the nominee and didn't raise much money.

[Franzl]

I think Quinn is done for. Hope I'm wrong.

You mean state Rep?

Yes, she was much stronger.

Fox Radio has just called the Senate seat for Kirk, so I assume that FNC has as well.

Damn these governor races are tight.

Dillard seems to be closing in.

The consolation tonight is Kirk winning and Hastert losing.

You don't think being under 60% against a bunch of complete nobodies (except for Hughes, I guess) is a lackluster performance?

[Badger]

Damn these governor races are tight.

Dillard seems to be closing in.

So's Hoffman (a little anyways).

Quinn had an uptick too.
