Election day in Illinois
By Jonathan Parker on 02/02/2010 @ 09:50 AM
Today is primary election day in Illinois, and we've got a number of great candidates on the ballot. One of them is state Representative Julie Hamos, who appears to be in a nail-biter of a race to the finish in the Democratic contest for the open U.S. House seat in IL-10. This race is critical because it truly represents one of the best opportunities in the country for Democrats to pick up a Republican seat. Julie is the best candidate to do just that.
Julie has run a terrific race from start to finish. In an ordinary circumstance, she would be headed for a sure win. But two factors have made this race a toss-up: 1. the incredibly early primary date that shortened the campaign calendar, and 2. the very expensive Chicago media market (one of the largest media markets in the country) that made it difficult to effectively communicate with voters. Nonetheless, Julie is poised to win this race today. If you're an Illinois resident, remember to get out and vote today! You can find your polling location here.
