Just a reminder, folks. Since Illinois moved its primary up… waaaaay up … we are only 38 days away from primary voting which begins on Feb. 2!

And don’t forget the Chicago Tribune’s candidate questionnaire responses.
(Update, I have to apologize for the wrong number of days that was originally in the title. I threw the number 16 in at random in the title intending to go back and count the days after I got the websites all tracked down and then I forgot to go back and fix the headline. So, the Primary is on Feb. 2 — Ground Hog’s Day — so there are 38 days until the voting begins. Though early voting will start sooner.)

The list for US Senate needs to be up dated. Wallace is no longer running for the GOP nomination for US Senate. In his press release he stated that he would step aside to allow people to get behind one candidate. But he also implied that he could run as an independent candidate should Mark Kirk win the GOP nomination and if support was there for a third party candidate.
In the mean time you should add his magazine to your list of news sources and blogs http://www.freedomsjournalmagazine.com and his blog http://www.fjmblog.com I am sure he’d appreciate that.
Joe Walsh is the best chance we have to take back the 8th district and get rid of Melissa Bean.
