Illinois

Favorable / Unfavorable
Mark Kirk: 46 / 41
Alexi Giannoulias: 37 / 48

(I don't believe that Kirk has such a high favorable rating after all the lies he has been caught in)

[nevergiveup]

1. If Alexi runs a smart campaign he can win.

His #1 problem at the moment is money and he may not financially be able to initially counter the hit ads that will soon appear.

2. Sounds like we should be sending him some money.

I'll do it.

4. Good for you

Obama is coming here next week for a fund raiser benefit but the tickets are $1000 and can't swing this but will be sending him $100 soon.

3. And more and more lies keep coming out n/t

[saltpoint]

5. I hope Kirk keeps fibbing and flubbing his way into

the fall election.

I'd like to see Giannoulias' trend line rise, and then just keep rising.
