Duckworth has 10 percentage point lead over Walsh
Democratic congressional candidate Tammy Duckworth has opened a double-digit lead over freshman Republican Rep. Joe Walsh, an edge fueled by a huge advantage among female voters as women's issues have taken center stage, a new Tribune/WGN-TV poll shows.
With less than two weeks until the election, Duckworth had the backing of 50 percent to 40 percent for Walsh, the controversial tea party-backed incumbent. An additional 9 percent were undecided, which is significant this close to the Nov. 6 balloting, particularly for a highly visible contest that has been combative for months.
The poll results, however, indicate difficulties for Walsh in trying to rally and earn a second term in Washington. Walsh is not viewed favorably. The 8th Congressional District takes a dim view of Republicans in Congress. And independent voters are breaking for Duckworth.

Send that deadbeat daddy PACKIN! 
I don't care WHAT his son is saying! It sounds like typical GOP bluff/scare/sympathy tactics anyway. 
Walsh probably told him, "If I don't get reelected, that new car you wanted? Kiss it goodbye, kid. However, if you wanna help me you could get out there and ..." 
The independent voters that is! She's wonderful! Yahoooooooooo!
Yeah, she killed Walsh with that comment! Whew! 
She's looking good for this, but she still can use all the help she can get. We need this one.
