It’s tough to knock out a Dem in a statewide race in Illinois.
Dickie was a 68% winner in 2008.
Mark Kirk did pull off a plurality win for the open seat in the Tea Party surge year of 2010.
True, but he is very stale, and very easy to run ads against due to his extreme hypocricy. Also, one feels dirty voting for someone called ‘Dick Turban’. Sounds like he belongs in Al Qaeda’s porn division.
If you can keep the Chicago vote low enough, virtually everywhere else votes Republican.
