Chicago Tribune: Obama holds 41-point lead over Keyes

Chicago Tribune: Obama holds 41-point lead over Keyes



Where to begin with the list of bad news for Mosh Pit Al:

  • In the first Senate race between two black candidates, Obama leads with African-Americans by a huh?-what-were-those-numbers-again?!? margin of 96-3.
  • "Despite the controversy that led Jack Ryan to drop off the ballot, black voters still had a far higher opinion of Ryan than Keyes..."
  • Keyes is only winning the anti-choice vote 45-42.
  • 29% of all voters and 32% of independents say the Keyes candidacy makes them less likely to support other Illinois Republicans this fall.

    No wonder Keyes is coming out against popular election of senators!

    My brother has some regrets about not getting the chance to vote Obama, but his move to Minnesota takes him from a dark blue to a very light blue state, and puts him in one of the most competitive house districts in the county: the Mark Kennedy vs. Patty Wetterling race.
