2. by county here:

http://www.politico.com/2010/maps/#/IL

[WeDidIt]

3. Dillard is losing so far on the GOP side

but only 11% are reporting so far.

[WeDidIt]

4. Todd Stroger DEAD LAST with 35% reporting

That's not surprising.

[Sannum]

10. Yay!

[WeDidIt]

5. Giannoulias up 5 points, Quinn up 6 points, 16% reporting

Kirk looks like he's won in a cake walk.

[WeDidIt]

6. Giannoulias' lead down to 4, Quinn steady lead by 6, 22% reporting. n/t

[WeDidIt]

7. 24% reporting, Giannoulias leads by 5. Quinn leads by 6.

Kirk is running away with the GOP Senate nomination a,d I';m calling it now for him as he leads by 43 points.

Andy McKenna leads by 8 points for the GOP governor nod, but it's McKenna 28, Ryan 20 in a wide field, so it could sitll go any which way.

[usregimechange]

8. Hoffman is closing, down by 3%

[WeDidIt]

9. Giannoulias by 4 and Quinn still by 6 wit 31 % reporting

[WeDidIt]

11. Giannoulias by 4, Quinn by 6 with 37% reporting.

Kirk and McKenna still lead on the GOP side.

Todd Stroger's political career is dead.

In more interesting news, David Miller leads Raja Krishnamoorthi by less than one half of one percent in the race for the Democratic nomination for State Comptroller. I voted for Raja. YMMV.

[Bitwit1234]

12. I am so glad to see Andy Martin in the bottom

he is one of the guys who launched the birther movement. And he is still at it.

[TheBigotBasher]

35. Same here.

I am glad that the homophobic shit he was spreading, which originated as a hate site posing as a "Hillary" site, did not work. I am also glad that the GOP as a result of that homophobic bigotry displyed by Martin that he was no longer an official candidate.

I am always glad to see bigotry defeated.

[WeDidIt]

13. Giannoulias' lead drops to 3 with 43% reporting.

Quinn stays steady at 6 points.

Raja has just pulled into the lead for Comptroller by 39 votes.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

Poor li'l Todd. Maybe one of your relatives will find you some work-- they all owe you.

[WeDidIt]

15. McKenna's lead on the GOP side for governor drops to 4 points

Dillard is coming up on the outside. 24 McKenna, 19 Dillard, 18 Ryan.

[WeDidIt]

16. Giannoulias extends lead back to five, Wuinn lead down to 4, 46% reporting

[Prism]

18. Be still my heart, Stroger is getting aced

Thank you, Cook County.

[WeDidIt]

20. He's dead, Jim.

:evilgrin:

[Prism]

22. One never knows

Even cold and in the ground, they could probably get him to sign some papers . . .

[WeDidIt]

19. Giannoulias by 5, Quinn by 4, 49% reporting

McKenna's lead down to 3 now.

[nickinSTL]

21. Quinn is trailing in Madison County

in SW IL.

Quinn has 3841 votes to Hynes' 6632

Be interesting to see if Hynes wins outside of Chicago...and if it's enough to win the state.

(just a disclaimer, I don't have a horse picked in this one, not sure which is a better choice)

[WeDidIt]

23. Giannoulias by 4, Quinn by 4, 59% reporting

McKenna's lead down to just under 2 on the GOP side.

Raja is up by one.

[WeDidIt]

24. QUINN'S LEAD DROPS TO 2!, Giannoulias still up by 4, 61% reporting

McKenna's lead back up to 3.

Raja still on top by 1.

[mucifer]

25. Preckwinkle giving her speech now!

:)

[mucifer]

26. looks like Quinn is going down. Wait and see.

[nickinSTL]

28. maybe - if all of downstate goes the way of Madison County

that may be true.

Hynes has maintained about 63-64% of the vote there all evening - now nearly at 64% with only one precinct left to report.

[WeDidIt]

33. He looks to be holding on

Barely, but I think he'll pull it out.

The beauty of this race for me is I can deal with Quinn as easliy as Hynes, but I figured Hynes wouldn't have as much baggage is all.

[WeDidIt]

27. Quinn by 2, Giannoulias by 3, 64% reporting

McKenna still up by 2.

Toni Preckwinkle will be the next Cook County Board President (the GE is a formality in Cook County).

Raja holding on to a scant 1 point lead.

[WeDidIt]

29. Giannoulias by 4, Quinn by just over 2, 68% in.

McKenna's lead narrowing to just one.

Raja extends his leaad to slightly over 1.

[WeDidIt]

30. Giannoulias by 5, Quinn by slightly more than 2, 72% reporting

Raja's lead slides to less than 0.7%

[Skip Intro]

31. Don't know much about these races. What would be good news for us, bad news for teabaggers/rwingers?

Danke.

[mucifer]

32. It's the primary so we are mostly discussing dems. But, some IL dems are REALLY bad

Preckwinkle is a liberal and she won by a landslide. kinda surprising.

[mucifer]

34. It's looking bad for Quinn. 75% in and 1.5% lead and shrinking.

[WeDidIt]

37. I don't know if Hynes can pull it out

77% in and Quinn still up by nearly 2.

[nickinSTL]

40. 79% and Quinn's up by 1.4%

by the site I'm watching.

But, I don't know if it's close enough for Hynes to pull it off or not.

[WeDidIt]

36. Giannoulias by 5, Quinn by 2, 78% reporting

McKenna barely leads Dillard on the GOP side for governor.

Raja has a scant lead for Comptroller.

Scott Cohen leads for Lt. Governor by 3%.

[mucifer]

38. I'm bummed Hoffman isn't doing better. He put up a good fight tho.

[WeDidIt]

39. Giannoulias by 5, Quinn by less than 2, 79% reporting

Cohen by 3 for Lt. Gov.

Raja leads by just over 2000 votes for Comptroller, whoever wins this one will face Judy Baar Topinka who lost to Blagojevich for Governor in 2006.

[WeDidIt]

41. McKenna's lead on GOP side for governor LESS THAN 900 VOTES!

Giannoulias still by 5.

Quinn still by 2

Cohen by 3

Raja barely holding on.

[WeDidIt]

42. 80% in VIRTUAL THREE WAY TIE ON GOP GOVENROR SIDE!

Bradley barely leads, followed by McKenna and Dillard.

Miller has taken the lead over Raja for Comptroller.

Cohen still up by 3.

Quinn barely hangning on by a 1.5% lead.

Giannoulias still up by 5.

[mucifer]

43. I am getting addicted to the results. But, I don't want to see Quinn lose and it

looks like that is gonna happen. The late numbers come in from downstate.

[WeDidIt]

46. I hate to tell you this

I voted for Hynes in Will Co.

I figured Hynes would have an easier time than Quinn.

But I do think Quinn will pull it out here so I will be 100% behind him in the GE.

I'm just hoping Raja can pull it out for Comptroller!

[mucifer]

44. 18% yet to count and Quinn's lead is down to 1.2% not looking good for him.

[nickinSTL]

47. this Gov race is really tight

87% reporting and Quinn's lead is down to 0.8%

[mucifer]

49. It's 10pm I've been watching my computer like a dork for 2 and a half hours oy vey

what's wrong with me?

[nickinSTL]

50. same thing that's wrong with me, apparently

I have to go to bed soon or I'll be a zombie at work tomorrow...

but, knowing my coworkers, I probably won't be the only one :evilgrin:

[WeDidIt]

48. QUINN'S LEAD LESS THAN 1%!!! 13% left to count

GOP soide, Brady leads Dillard by less than 1%

Giannoulias still up by 5.

[jenmito]

51. Hoffman already conceded to Giannoulias. n/t

[jenmito]

52. Can someone tell me who would be the better people to win? TIA. :)

[mucifer]

55. people posting here voted differently. Some like Quinn some like Hynes.

Some like Giannoulias some like Hoffman. My guess is we all voted for Preckwinkle for county board president and that is a HUGE deal here. There is a lot of money in the cook county budget and a slimy dem did a lot of damage as current president and now he lost in 4th place. :)

[WeDidIt]

56. Arguments can be made on both sides

Giannoulias has won a statewide elections before, so his chances look pretty good against MArk Kirk in November for Obama's old seat, and that race is set.

The governor's race is still up in the air. Quinn took over from Blago and is currently leading, but that lead has been slipping for the past hour. Dillard now leads on the GOP side, but it's been all over the place all night.

[davsand]

53. Thanks to you all for posting results!

I'm sitting here with a complete lack of information locally. It is making me nuts and the only thing keeping me sane is DU's current information. I just got off the phone with a local candidate that has been driving from precinct to precinct getting totals. Now there is some dispute about whether THOSE totals are good or not...

This is gonna be a very long night and you guys are a beacon of sanity. Keep it up!

[TheBigotBasher]

82. Thanks for the info

:-)

[mopinko]

75. my niece, melissa taylor, is winning! and i didn't even know she was running.

how's that for weird. she is a village trustee in sugar grove and appears to be winning as a dem for the kane county board. don't talk to my family much, although missy is a fb friend.
at least this one is a dem!

[KharmaTrain]

76. Down Goes Junior Hastert!

Just saw he got his butt kicked trying to win his dad's old seat. Could be a real good omen for Bill Foster.

:bounce:

[mopinko]

77. thunk

ya know, i think he would be a better punching bag in the general, but hell. great to see a hastert lose.

[KharmaTrain]

79. Hey Mo...I'm Not Feeling So Bad Tonight...

While I expect the corporate media talking heads to talk up Kirk as the "next Brown", you gotta think the teabaggers aren't too happy. I'm still hoping Dillard pulls it out.

If we can get a similar or better Democratic turn out in November, I think we'll be just fine...

:hi:

[Atman]

80. Hynes: I will continue fighting (closest in 35 years)

Hynes: I will continue fighting

The race between Gov. Quinn and Comptroller Dan Hynes for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination headed for the history books late Tuesday in the closest nail-biter for governor in nearly 35 years.

[TheBigotBasher]

81. Two potential recounts then

[mopinko]

83. seemed like an awful lot of bond issues and tax increase were approved.

i remember watching results of the last election, and it seems like close to zero of these things passed. but watching them go by on tv last night, seemed like the vast majority passed.
guess people are happier than we think.
