The reason in Illinois 6th and 8th? What is there to get out the dem vote? Chicago will carry the statewide except Treasure Rodoneo (SP) wins because of the speakers help. The 6th and 8th are wealthy suburbs doing well in this economy historicly the GOP has ground troops in both those districts and will get their vote out, how will the dems get their vote out? Where is the anger? I just don't see the wave that has been predicted.

"McSweeney by 1-2 percent (which Scheurer stealing the election for Bean);" -Abestquess
I think you're underestimating the Bean's popularity with women. This race will go to Bean by 6%.
I think last minute defectors and the Socialist revelation will crush Whitney's impact. I'd be surprised if he hits that 5% mark when it matters.

I believe our predictions are about as good as the garbage pollsters have been selling us all year. I cannot recall a worst year for polling.
Polls failed to see a GOP Congress in 1994, they predicted a Kerry presidency in 2004, and every two years over the past ten, have predicted that Democrats would end their minority status. How many strike outs are allowed before we start firing pollsters?
All year long, polls have been predicting a Democratic wave. Now it seems they are hedging their bets. They sound like a bunch of idiots.
If you really think about it, do you believe that 30% of voters didn't know who they'd vote for and that every week they would have a different answer? Who believes voters are that stupid? Polls are preposterous.
Perhaps that should be a QOTD? After the hoopla and analysis, perhaps we can discuss the future of polls and whether they should be considered newsworthy anymore.

All the judges will be retained in Cook County. I wish it weren't true, surely Brim, Toney and Lipinski (Marcella--not Bill, Dan or Anne) deserve to be tossed out on their keesters. To say nothing of Kowalski, but at least he's retiring.
Dems win all other statewides, with the closest Alexi v. Radogno, Alexi gets 53%.
House Democrats lose one, pick up one.
Jones' incumbents win, Jones picks off two from Watson.
Bean wins comfortably, Seals loses by 6, Duckworth /Roskam is 50/50 and perhaps the closest Congressional race in the country, but I think Duckworth eeks it out.
Democrats pick up 19 in the US House, 4 in the Senate. Peaked about ten days too early.

I am very confident on the Bean/McSweeney prediction, the Lahood/Waterworth prediction, and the Hare/Zinga prediction. Other than that, if Blago does win the election, it will be no mandate and he will not get 50%.
Peraica 45%

Odishoo, Peraica, and Manzo have a meeting in the Illinois Department of Employment Security line to conduct a post mortem on Tony's demise. It will remind me of the scene in "Bad Lieutenant" with Harvey Keitel in the church....Ohhhhhhhhh, Oooooooooooooo, whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Polls failed to see a GOP Congress in 1994, they predicted a Kerry presidency in 2004, and every two years over the past ten, have predicted that Democrats would end their minority status. How many strike outs are allowed before we start firing pollsters?
All year long, polls have been predicting a Democratic wave. Now it seems they are hedging their bets. They sound like a bunch of idiots.
If you really think about it, do you believe that 30% of voters didn't know who they'd vote for and that every week they would have a different answer? Who believes voters are that stupid? Polls are preposterous.
Perhaps that should be a QOTD? After the hoopla and analysis, perhaps we can discuss the future of polls and whether they should be considered newsworthy anymore.
All statewide Dems win big
except Radogno wins 50 over Gianooulias 47 Green 3
Roskam 51 to 49 Duck
Bean beats McSweeny 55 to 45
Stroger beats Peraica 52 to 48
People, if you don't want to take the time to look at the bar ratings http://media1.suntimes.com/nixoncds/image/20061...
or the indepth reasonings for such http://www.chicagocouncil.org/, and you have no personal knowledge of the judicial candidates, then don't bother to vote in those races.
Topinka - 46
Whitney - 6
Dems win all other statewides, with the closest Alexi v. Radogno, Alexi gets 53%.
House Democrats lose one, pick up one.
Jones' incumbents win, Jones picks off two from Watson.
Bean wins comfortably, Seals loses by 6, Duckworth /Roskam is 50/50 and perhaps the closest Congressional race in the country, but I think Duckworth eeks it out.
Democrats pick up 19 in the US House, 4 in the Senate. Peaked about ten days too early.
Blago - 33%
JBT - 33%
Dunkin - 75%
Drakula - 25%
Tony - 51%
Todd - 49
Crotty 49%
Downstate 1
Please keep in mind that this poll has a one percent margin of error....
Peraica 36
Flider 49% bad ads and Blago ended a nice guy's political career that was sold out to the Chicago Machine.
