Illinois Overview: Nov 2 Senate Elections

Okay, 37 posts on a Sunday may be too many, but I'm going to risk it. These are the 37 Senate races that will be decided on November 2, 2010. If Republicans don't win quite a few of these, in order to gain a majority in the Senate, it will certainly be a referendum to all that the Democrat model is what the American people actually want.... (or will it just be a referendum against the Tea Partiers?)

Screencaps of Dem and Rep candidates are shown alphabetically.

Roland Burris was selected as Senator for Illinois to replace Barack Obama. The controversy this engendered has caused him to not seek re-election.

The primary elections on February 2, 2010 produced the following winners:

Democrat: State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias
Republican: U.S. Representative Mark Kirk of Illinois's 10th congressional district
Green: LeAlan Jones, journalist

Also on the ballot will be
Libertarian: Michael Labno
