4. Obama in a blowout

15% reporting, Obama 55%!!!

And Hull in fourth, with 6%. All that money, all those ads, and 6%!

6. Memo: Don't beat your wife if you want to be a Senator...

Go OBAMA!!!

7. Wow! Go Obama!

Hehe....look at Hull! Ha! Looks like money can't buy every election. Hear that Chimpy????!!!

8. Obama seems like a dream

from a CNN piece I saw on him. Attractive, educated, young seems like he could go places. I wish him the best of luck.

Are there currently any black U.S. senators?

[jmags]

10. Nope...no black or hispanic senators currently.

9. Obama's got it wrapped up.

I think I will volunteer for my first political campaign working for him this summer. Imagine if Illinois could be represented by Dick Durbin and Barak Obama...it can't get much better than that!

11. Isn't that the truth?

AND Paul Simon was going to or did endorse Obama before he died. If Paul Simon backed Obama, we KNOW he's going to be a GREAT Senator. I am so THRILLED that he has won. :bounce:

13. Simon didn't endorse anyone

But Simon's daughter appeared in ads endorsing Obama. I'm quite pleased he won the primary, too. He got my vote.

[King of New Orleans]

12. So far only Cook and DuPage county

have reported much in the way of votes, but it's obvious Obama won metro Chicago by a huge margin, though he'll have to build his support downstate some.

It looks like Ryan will win too, but it looks like a feeble win.

14. Thanks!

Wish this could be pinned to the top, but we Illinoisians appreciate your efforts.

15. WBEZ just reported that AP is declaring Obama the winner.

Woo hoo!!!!!

[LincolnMcGrath]

16. local fox news Hynes AHEAD?

18. Thanks GAo3

19. Anyone watching CLTV?

They have had a number of people on singing the praises of Obama and most of their coverage about Ryan revolved around the fact that the divorce controversy caused him to stumble a bit late and would hurt him more in November. If the media continues to swirl over this divorce problem, this race could be much easier than a lot of us thought.
