About a year ago, thousands jammed Grant Park in Chicago to celebrate Barack Obama’s election to the White House, a communal civic defining moment. But those giddy days are long gone as Democrats in Illinois face the potential of losing the Senate seat President Obama once held next November.
The Illinois primary is Feb. 2, and the Democrat and Republican races are ripening, with the deadlines to file or withdraw nominating petitions now passed…
…Alexi Giannoulias is the Democratic front-runner. His main competitors are Cheryle Jackson, the former Chicago Urban League chief and former Blagojevich spokeswoman; former City of Chicago Inspector General David Hoffman, and attorney Jacob Meister, who is a factor only because he put more than $1 million of his own cash into the race. With days lost to Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, well, it’s practically voting day already…
…Giannoulias’ potential biggest liability is his former association with Broadway Bank, founded by his father and the subject of controversy because of loans made to alleged mobsters and convicted influence peddler Tony Rezko…
The best they can get is tied to Obama’s corrupt fixer, Tony Rezko…man, oh, man; if we can’t wrest this seat from the Democrats, then we really are a bunch of losers.
The main GOPer – Kirk – was made a bit famous a little while ago when he started angling for Palin’s endorsement…which is also, though, the smartest thing he could do as Palin’s endorsement carries with it a great deal of political passion on the part of the outraged populist right, the key to GOP victory next year.

Caucus of Corruption
This is not the only Donk Senate seat in jeopardy. I realize it’s too early to make any kind of accurate predictions, but the Dems really are in a lose/lose situation between now and next November. If they succeed in ramming through any or all of their far left-wing agenda, they’ll alienate the majority of Americans; and if they fail in ramming through any or all of their agenda, they’ll alienate their base and the folks who fund their lunacy.
spook
EVERY body I know are talking about how the SKM trials in NY are just plain nuts (except for our usual kneepaders here).
Even the loon Gov paterson is dead against it.
They are toast, getting burned darker every day.

You racist, you.
Spook is on target here. If the donks don’t get a couple more socialist bills ramrodded through Congress, Barry will be seen as an impotent loser. If they do, they will be unelected.
Just another of the Unintended Consequences that plague the clueless Left………
Anyone is better than a hand picked corrupt individual or the Obamateur (another hand picked individual who was introduced to Chicago politics by Bill Ayers) who served 18 very short months and who voted PRESENT most of the time.
Even in his Senate seat, the “man” showed no leadership.
