Kerry's lead has shrunk here. Barring a miracle, Bush won't win the Land of Lincoln, but even in this bluest of blue states, the Anyone But Bush factor is a big force within Kerry's "support."

32 percent of GOP voters said they preferred Obama

??????????? Is Keyes THAT bad that a Republican would knowingly vote for that Socialist S.O.B??

Don't forget to add at least 7% to Kerry's total in order to correct for the voting from Chicago's "special districts".

I knew there would be a poll released that was taken before their debate LOL!

Oh well, it's undoubtedly bad news none the less.

I'm prefacing this by saying that I'm voting for Keyes on Nov. 2, but I will say that Keyes' big mouth has won him few friends here in Illinois. Whether its true or not, the issue of carpetbagging turns a lot of people off. The communist Obama hasn't had to really lift a finger to win this seat, all he has to do is run a few soft, touchy feely ads about how he connects with the "common man", and stand back and let Keyes self-destruct.

I'm convinced it will be closer than 8 points. I'm sure Kerry will win here---but won't be surprised if its' closer than he'd like.

Actually, since there are few competive races here due to the collapse of the Republican party in Illinois, there'll be a little less cheating in Cook County (Chicago and a lot of dark blue suburbs). There are a couple of scandals (Hired Truck, Building Inspectors) inching closer to Daley. Richie doesn't need a voting fraud scandal on his plate too. Tort reform is a huge issue downstate, and we'll pick up a few state legislature seats because of it. Daley's brother is not in charge of the Kerry campaign, unlike Gore's. Bush will lose here, but not by a large amount.

If we had another month, we could pull it off. There's not enough time.

When is the last time Bush has visited Illinois? The Shrub has probably had more news conferences in the past year than visits to Chicago.

OTOH, maybe Bush is afraid to be seen with Keyes, or vice versa. I wouldn't blame Keyes for avoiding any association with Bush's record of failure on the economy and in Iraq.

He was in Glenview for a Homeland Security event in July, a Republican town in northern Cook County, then he went to a private home fundraiser in either Wilmette or Winnetka.
