Last minute campaigning

The GOP candidates for governor made their final push today. CBS2 Chicago:
Apparently JBT was hopping around the state:
“I want to go after Blagojevich. I want to go after him. That is the issue. I’m not going to sit there and try and mess around with other Republicans, and we certainly have run a very positive campaign,” Topinka said.

Still, Topinka faced a fresh round of ridicule in the campaign's final days from a TV spot showing her dancing the polka with former Gov. George Ryan, paid for by Jim Oberweis.
Oberweis campaigned in familiar territory:
Oberweis greeted commuters in the western suburbs.

“It graphically portrays the fact that Judy is a part of the political system. And we have to change this whole culture of corruption,” Oberweis said.
Brady on offense in Chicago:
Greeting commuters downtown, State Sen. Bill Brady boldly challenged the claim by Oberweis that only he has a chance to defeat Topinka Tuesday.

“It’s between Judy Baar Topinka, myself. Mr. Oberweis’ numbers appear to have almost dropped into single digits, and we’re looking forward to victory tomorrow night,” Brady said.
Polls open at 6 am, close at 7 pm. Vote!
