Election 2010: Governor Race
We'll be discussing the Governor's race in class. One article we'll use is http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/elections/ct-met-governor-race-social-issues-20101015,0,2322534.story
We'll also check out Pat Quinn's and Bill Brady's websites.
We might check out some political ads and sights like these:
Quinn's youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/QuinnForIllinois
Brady's youtube page:

Anti-Brady and Attack Ads
http://www.bradyforillinois.com/ and the "puppy-killer" ad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nvBtioirsg&feature=player_embedded
Not sure if it's fact, opinion or somewhere inbetween? Check out PolitiFact to check the candidates statements.
Lastly, don't forget the poll numbers.
