Fritchey and Feigenholtz have both raised ~$500k, impressive for a run-off primary with little advance notice.  Not sure about Quigley, he did just get a resounding endorsement from the Sun.

Feigenholtz's latest ad:

I predict Feigenholtz although I hope that Independents and Republicans turn out for Wheelan

I'd actually put fifty bucks on Sara

"Chicago Board of Elections spokesman Jim Allen says calls to the board’s Polish hotline are much higher than calls to any other hotline this morning."
-Very good for second-tier candidate Forys who might be on track to make a strong showing

Looks like Quigley is on track to win a fairly high turnout affair.

Interestingly, he used to date Sara Feigenholtz



Also note that this election is relevant because IL-5 is a fairly powerful district (look at the last few owners of the seat).


This race also taught the SEIU how to properly waste $250k of expensive ads through investing in Feigenholtz

I thought Quigley was a reformer in Cook County.

he is but he wasn't exactly the grassroots candidate

They aren't mutually exclusive. 

I was actually thinking of interesting districts that routinely propel people to higher office.  Georgia's 6th (Newt, Isakson), Nevada's 1st (Reid, Ensign), ...

i'm more interested in CA-32 now.  Glancing at Chu's website, it's weird she includes the headline "California Race May Expose Ethnic Rifts"
