From a Giannoulias media advisory:

Giannoulias, Durbin To Criss-Cross Illinois on Jobs Tour

CHICAGO - U.S. Senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias and Senator Richard Durbin will kick off the first of two statewide tours on Wednesday at the Illinois State Fair. The tours will highlight Alexi's comprehensive plan to get our economy moving again and shine a light on the stark choice in the U.S. Senate race this year -- a choice between incumbent Washington Congressman Mark Kirk, who takes record amounts of corporate money and continually votes to protect their interests, and Alexi, a true independent voice who banned pay-to-play on his first day in office, refuses to take corporate special interest money, and has presented comprehensive plans to end the economic mess caused by a decade of Bush-Kirk economics. Alexi will travel to 16 towns in central and southern Illinois in four days...

During the tour, Giannoulias will share his plans for creating the next generation of good-paying jobs, helping small businesses access capital so that they can grow, and rooting out the corporate special interests that plague Washington. Senator Durbin will join the tour for select stops on 8/19 and 8/20. Giannoulias will visit the following cities and towns in Illinois: Bloomington/Normal, Cairo, Carbondale, Chester, Decatur, Du Quoin, Alton, East St. Louis, Effingham, Harrisburg, Mascoutah, Metropolis, Mt. Vernon, Pana, Springfield, and Waterloo.

Of course, we know Durbin doesn't give advance notice to the public when he comes to Quincy. Looks like perhaps he's having the man who he hopes will be his junior senator subscribe to his same philosophy.

Or maybe they will just ignore Quincy for fear they might not get the friendly reception they used to when people thought Durbin was representing them the way in they way they wanted.

he might come up with the idea that euthanasia is ok for people living in Adams County too.

Do you scare Senator Durbin, Bob? Is he afraid of the organized Tea Party? Is he afraid that some lady will give him petitions when he is eating his lunch with Mayor Spring?

Questions to ponder.... while we wait for the Senator to drop by.

Durbin might have enough Hispanic votes

that he doesn't need to appeal to the people of Western IL for their support. Just saying... look at his views on securing our border and amnesty.

Durbin figured out that he didn't need West-Central Illinois the day he flipped from pro-life to pro-choice, claiming he had his epiphany in Quincy.

Looks like highly Democrat voting demographics.

They gotta get the union bosses organized and get out that highly loyal blockhead vote.
