Probably right. The Democrats have been running from the message the GOP is spinning. Instead of running on their strong points. Elizabeth Warren should be point on the Democrat's messaging. The President should of been out more too. He was used by the GOP effectively with only silence returned.

No real rebuttals only running from the attacks. If you are going down, then go down fighting for what you believe not avoiding it.

We did the early voting over a week ago. Walked into town hall and was almost immediately advised by a judge that it is against the law to ask for ID. The guy next to me remarked, "Hey Dubya...we're not in Texas anymore." HAH!

Straight democrat. Sadly DuPage County is still the land of Henry Hyde and most of the lesser county offices have a Repubican candidate and space for a write-in. So there were a number of offices for which I did not cast a vote.

The Elephant running for governor is a low-profile Willard, a venture capitalist vampire named Bruce Rauner. Net worth just a smidgen under a billion dollars. In a number of bankruptcy cases on several nursing homes his company owns, juries found that residents had died as a result of neglect and abuse. Rauner's response? "People die in nursing homes. That's what happens in nursing homes."

If Illinoisans elect this schmuck it's more proof that everybody gets the government they deserve.

I don't really care what Obama gets anymore. I don't much care about what happens in the Congressional elections this year. The important thing is that the White House remains in the hands of the Democratic Party in 2016. The SCOTUS needs a liberal majority.

I'm lucky to be living in a state where it is still a two party election, not the top two out of the primary. No matter the party. So can vote straight FKN DEMOCRAT!!!

The media and all the pundits have been on his back all year so what else is new. S**t I got a robo call at 7:08 this morning, don't they have any goddam sense here in this country, electioneering should stop 48 hours before the polls open. And why Tuesday, might have made sense back in the day but not any longer.

I saw a bumper sticker that read "Democrats are the only reason to vote Republican". I guess the reverse can be said too.

I voted a straight D ticket.

Since Alabummer has straight ticket voting, I only needed to fill in one oval on the ballot.
