From weeklystandard.com: But Schilling's efforts to distinguish himself from the incumbent haven't yet paid off: Hare still remains a favorite. Illinois-17, which is gerrymandered to benefit Democratic candidates, has been represented by a Democrat for over two decades.  It favored Barack Obama by a 15-point margin in 2008, and went for Democrats John Kerry and Al Gore in the previous two presidential elections.  Hare is the preferred candidate of labor leaders in a district whose workforce is 23 percent unionized. And Hare’s fundraising has drastically outpaced his opponent’s.

In a recent poll, Scilling is ahead in the admittedly gerrymanderd 17th district 47-32. Hare has all given up campaigning in the Quincy area. He will be spending the majority of his time and money trying to salvage the union and entitlement vote. This WILL BE a conservative victory on Nov 2.....please everyone get out and vote. We MUST save our country on Nov 2 with a vote against Obama and his socialist, anti-business and debt strangling agendas!
