>>There are always some kind of political shenanigans around here. In the governor's race a Democrat may be elected for the first time in over 20 years. The attorney general's office is dispatching close to 200 staffers to monitor voting throughout Illinois. What's interesting is the overwhelming majority of them are being sent to Chicago, which of course always votes Democratic. What's even more interesting is the attorney general who is directing this monitoring operation just happens to be the Republican candidate for governor ;-)

It didn't help the attorney general / gubernatorial candidate. He got wiped out. Illinois bucked the national trend and elected almost all Democrats. (Didn't Georgia elect its first Republican governor in over 100 years?)
