Looks like it will probably be Obama V Ryan in IL…
“FINAL ILLINOIS POLLS. The final WBBM-TV/SurveyUSA poll numbers released Monday show State Senator Barack Obama nearly certain to win the Democratic primary over several millionaire contenders. The poll has Obama holding a 30-point lead. The GOP contest is tightening into rather competitive race. Wealthy investment banker Jack Ryan leads with 33%, followed by dairy company owner Jim Oberweis at 24%, and State Senator Steve Rauschenberger at 21%. Rauschenberger -- who has won most of the newspaper endorsements -- seems to have the momentum (he's moved up 10 points within the past six days), but it may be too late for him to catch Ryan. An amusing race to also watch is the Democratic primary in CD-2. In that race, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D) should cruise to a big primary victory over disgraced former Congressman Mel Reynolds (D) and two others. Reynolds -- a former Rhodes Scholar -- saw his political career crash-and-burn several years ago in two scandals. In separate cases, Reynolds was convicted on federal corruption charges and also of statutory rape of a 16-year-old girl and obstruction. See our Illinois page for links to all of the campaigns.” - Politics1
Personally I recon that Obama should beat Ryan but this race should be more competitive than many people originally though, mostly thanks to Ryan’s money…just praying we don’t nominate Hull…
