I haven't heard anything about this. Obviously Durbin is going to win, but who will win this primary?

Whoever is furthest to the right, just like in every other Republican Primary.


But if I had to make a (crazy) guess at numbers

Armen Alvarez 40%
Doug Traux 29%
Jim Oberweis 15%
William Lee 13%

Given how weak both Oberweis and Traux are, and Alveraz or Lee win isn't that far afield... the question is, would they stay on the ballot in a General Election?

I expect it to be Oberweis by a large margin. He's consistently had a commanding lead in every poll conducted so far and has a 88% name id among Pubs according to a February Tribune Poll.

hmmm.....Ballotpedia still has them listed as candidates for some reason

There are two main sites I go two for this info (ballotpedia and politics1). When they have two different answers for the candidates its frustrating. It begs to ask the question, which one is more trustworthy? And why hasn't ballotpedia taken them off yet (especially when this happened awhile ago and its 3 days before the primary!)?

Yeah, I think that Oberweis is going to win the primary.  I'm going to vote for Truax though.

Not always true in Illinois accounting for the moderate Republican presence in Chicago's suburbs, but most of them are ceasing to identify with the GOP now anyway.

Oberweis will win because of the moderates, the name recognition, and the experience. But it doesn't matter because Durbin is safe.
