like 90% of the IL-5 vote is in Chicago anyways, so it's not a huge loss to hold the primary on 3/3

That's a good estimate:

In the 2008 general 202,270 votes came from Chicago, 28,622 from suburban Cook.

In the 2008 primary 86,410 votes from Chicago, 7,996 from suburban Cook.

The primary is now only two and a half weeks away, and even here there is remarkably little coverage. That's weird given the number of significant politicians in the race to succeed Emanuel. Since the primary is tantamount to election in IL-5, I thought that the link to the Tribune's questionnaires would give some additional background.

If its a low turnout primary, I think Fritchey will take it.  It high turnout, Quigley.

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:

The primary is a  little over a week away. Here is the Sun Times summary of fundraising to date.

It's amusing how the ad portrays Rahm in a negative light too.

Early comments from precincts this morning agree with a very low turnout today.

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.
