Giannoulias needs to go down, first and foremost, and go down hard . . .

They are not happy about Giannoulias at DU:

"I am voting for Hoffman. He is the only one who has a shot at beating Kirk and keeping Obama's old seat in Democratic hands. I still think it is a long-shot but at least Hoffman is squeaky clean."

"Vote against Giannoulias! Otherwise we will lose the seat."

"His Connections With Rezko...will be hung around his neck like a millstone . . Alas, this state is suffering from Blago hangover and its the Democrats who will take the fall. I loathe to think Capt'n Kirk will be another Scott Brown, but that's surely how the corporate media is already painting him."

"Well, there goes Obama's seat."

There were a number of factors, but Fitzgerald would have lost if he had run. He even acknowledged the fact when he bowed out in 2003. The prospect of a primary challenge and spending more of his personal fortune also contributed to the decision.

I am so worried right now, Kevin......

The CBS guy just said almost all of the remaining votes are city votes.

:-( :-( :-(

We need a miracle........!!!!!

Hoffman has conceded and Giannoulias is giving his victory speech now.

[Chi-townChief]

Let’s hope the DUmmies are right in this case.
