Six Days Away

Ill. Senate Race Attracts Rich Novices

I post this more as a reminder than anything else. I'll be in Texas next Tuesday, and my absentee ballot is already safely marked and mailed away. But, despite the fact that John Kerry has already claimed the Democratic nomination for president, there is much to be decided in Illinois next week. 15 people seek the chance to be the state's next senator, including seven millionaires. Issue profiles for 14 of them appeared in the Chicago Tribune today.

I won't tip my hand as to who got my vote, but I will say that I think Barack Obama or Dan Hynes would be a good nominee for the party. Someone's got to keep Jack Ryan out.
