I’m in Schillings new District (Don Manzullo was gerrymandered out) and have met him a couple of times. Good guy, and I think he’ll pull it out, being virtually tied and with 8% Undecideds. Much will depend on how de-motivated Obama’s voters are, and how well the GOP can GOTV.
This would be a big win, because his opponent Bustos is a personal friend of Dickie Turdbin and I’d love to see this one blow up in his face.
As a side note,it's being whispered around the State in the district campaign offices, if Chicago turnout is low, Romney could pull an upset and win Illinois. Win or lose, we will fight like hell and make them earn everything.
I believe Shilling will win the 15th Congressional District. What is left of the original 15th district before the gerrymandering took place is solid Republican... Plus NWIL Republicans VOTE big time as well as an energized Tea Party and other conservative groups.
Many people in our area hang up on pollsters. This poll does not reflect the true statistics, especially the 8%
