The fact that Oberweis, the most conservative candidate still in contention is in a statistical dead heat with Blago is bad news for the Democrats...

In Ill. of all places. That's a surprise!
They ahve to take into effect the "Zombie Rule."
The Zombie Rule states that in any election in a state with a large urban population, the Republican has to lead the Democrat by at least 10 percentage points in any election to win. Otherwise, polls, which consider only the living, fail to account for the dead registered Democrats who wind up voting and multiply registered voting Democrats in your typical large urban districts.
Vote Libertarnian in Illinois! There is no difference between the Blago and Topinka. No need to hold your nose when voting for the best candidate (Libertarian, that is).
GOOD NEWS IN ILLINOIS!
Now, if only Steven Rauchenburger hadn't dropped out of the race. None of the current GOP contenders are particularly distinguished, though preferable to the current Governor.
This poll is meaningless. Topinka has the lead because of so-called "independents" and "moderates" who are going to vote for her in the primary. But Bag-o-crap will get reelected easily.
Well, before her reign is over, I would imagine that many conservatives in IL would like to move to Topeka and try to reform KS instead!
Isn't the Rasmussen poll skewed left? I can understand why the Dimbulb Party would prefer Judy TooPinko to be popular...
There is little chance that Blago will lose. We are talking about Illinois here remember not a state with a rational electorate.
Good I hope that whoever the GOP nominee is wins this state back. I am tired of hearing how we are going to lose seats in congress and in state houses this year. If we keep a majority even if it is a reduced one at this rate i will be happy.
Blago's re-elect numbers are *terrible* and it shows that it doesnt matter who goes up against him, they have a shot.
All this muttering about Topinka misses the boat: Who will win the GOP primary?
Get the best conservative candidate you can to win and ...
Take out Blago!
It would be a great GOP pickup to offset the Dems pickup of NY. Don't rule out Lynn Swann in PA either.
Ping!
