Illinois Senate Prospects

The Hill looks at the race, with Rep. Mark Kirk (R-10th) getting prominent play, plus this on Shady Alexi:

Giannoulias has been under fire in recent weeks for his management of a college savings program that lost $85 million while purchasing a $26,000 sport utility vehicle.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has been seen as Giannoulias’s biggest cheerleader since the two went on a February trip to Greece together, but a Durbin spokesman told The Hill this week that too much was made of the excursion.

Especially since Alexi didn't even visit his own grandmother. But then, what would you expect from this guy?
