This is good news for the Conservatives in the race. I sure hope Hughes and Andrzejewski have their ground game on. I want to see an upset because if there isn't one we are going to suffer through how the Tea Party has lost its mojo.

Who’d take the time to vote in Illinois? The machine already selected the winner and has the votes counted and verified weeks before the election.
How the h*ll do you think they elected a clown like Obama?

I sure hope Hughes and Andrzejewski have their ground game on.Well, they got my vote around 2 pm. The wife votes on the way home this evening (for the same two...). When I arrived, there was only one lady in the booths. I told everyone it was time to wake up. By the time the lady was putting the sticker on me, there were 3 more people there to vote. Slow....

Obama had his opponent disqualified after the primary.

I guarantee my grandfather will be voting in this election.

Exactly right, with the help of IL GOP Chairman Judy Barr Topinka, I might add.

The dead, like most Dem voters, dont rise until the sun sets.................. Do they need to show a valid ID in Illinois? I'd think a certified death certificate would suffice, as long as it has the current address (site and plot number).

I went over to the Hughes site and it looks like they have a lot of Tea Party support making calls. Kirk thinks he has this in the bag so I’m betting he is asleep at the wheel. I do know that Hughes has been improving his margin over the past week. The biggest challenge for him has been the media outside of talk radio. Fox and Friends even invite Mark Kirk alone to be on this morning. It is sickening. Fox I believe is playing a game with conservatives sometimes.

Just got back from the polls. I turned out and I voted against that miserable RINO. Now to see if the snow & miserable weather did any good.
I think Adam Andrzejewski may have a chance at Governor. There were a lot of undecided and yesterday he picked up endorsements on air from Beck and Limbaugh. That will go a long way with the people who tend to vote in Republican Primaries on cold, wet, miserable days.

I hope they do too. Kirk’s support has been very weak even though his polls have been good it has never been solid. I think he will benefit from the excitement from Andrzejewski voters.

I voted around 10:00 this morning and it was steady traffic. I’m in a Republican leaning county and there are Andrezjewski(sp) signs all over the place.

Early returns: Illinois voters disgruntled

Many voters heading to polling places in Chicago say they aren’t happy. And it’s not because of the foul weather.
A steady snow didn’t stop 62-year-old salesman John Rogers from voting downtown Tuesday. But the Democrat wasn’t happy with the candidates. He says he doesn’t trust anyone running and that it’s a matter of voting for lesser evils.

We only had a couple inches of snow. 30 miles North, in Rockford, they may have had more, but my wife didn’t mention it when I talked to her around noon. I doubt the snow will have any affect in this area.

So far, a collective yawn in primary voting
http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/02/primary-concern-how-many-voters-will-see-their-shadows.html
National political pundits have been busy trying to divine broad meaning from Illinois’ Groundhog Day primary, but that noisy class of professional crystal ball gazers could be in for a challenge if an early collective yawn from voters continues through the day.
City election officials said turnout for the first hour of voting was extremely low. Jim Allen, communications director for the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, said there were precincts all over the city that experienced as few as two voters coming through their doors.
“That’s bad,” he said. “There are very few voters coming out to cast a ballot. This could mean six more weeks of campaigning if the voters just see their shadows.”

I hope you are correct but really, can you believe how little people in that state care? It’s no mystery why we are fighting the fight of our lives.

We don’t have very many signs at all that I’ve seen (Rochelle). And it’s a Republican district for sure.
