It’s a sad state for the Governor’s race in Illinois. With all of the attach ads it’s tough to find something likeable about either candidate. With the election only one week away, NBC 5 has pretty much called it for Blagojevich. While it seems likely, I can’t believe that Topinka is the best challenger against Blago.
There was an article about third party candidates on NPR this morning, and although the idea is tempting, I can’t really agree with many of the third-party candidates’ stands on issues.
So what’s a voter to do?
We’ll have mock elections on Tuesday, so be ready to vote.

CHICAGO - A new poll gives Gov. Rod Blagojevich a nine-point lead over Judy Baar Topinka, but shows that many people simply don't like either option. The St. Louis Post Dispatch finds 47 percent of likely votes support Blagojevich, while 38 percent support Republican challenger Topinka.
Fifty-seven percent have an unfavorable view of Blagojevich and 58 of Topinka.
