ATTENTION: BLOGGERS AND CANDIDATES
Tuesday, Feb 5, 2008 - Posted by Rich Miller [Bumped up to give the post more exposure] If you’re going to be blogging more than just a little about today’s Illinois primary, please make sure to put a link in comments here. We’d like to track your work as much as possible. Also, if you know of any good campaign parties tonight, slip those into the comment section below. I’ll be home, blogging away, but some readers might be in the mood for a little fun. * Illinoize is already cranking up pretty hard, by the way. [News feeds are now on this post.]

I posted this below but it really belongs here… you get to party twice as hearty tonight because it’s not only Super Tuesday but Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras).
A quick Google search on “Super Fat Tuesday” reveals that a S.F.T. bash sponsored by Drinking Liberally will take place at Sheffield’s, 3259 N. Sheffield, Chicago, starting at 7 p.m.

I’ll be mainly posting after work from Chicago. Speaking of which, anyone else going to election party events in the city tonight?
- Obama? - Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:33 am:
Is Obama here or in CA? You would think he would want to party in Chicago.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to do much while the polls are open but I would like to point you in the direction of The Bench.
- Pot calling kettle - Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:43 am:
Obama is supposed to have a rally in Chicago this evening.

The Bureau Co. Dems will be enjoying Chicken at Rip’s in Ladd.
- jerry 101 - Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 9:52 am:
Obama has a hotel party tonight, not sure which hotel though.
There’s also the drinking liberally at sheffields, which someone already mentioned. If you’re a democrat and a beer afficionado, you should go. Sheffield’s has one of the 5 best beer lists in the city, IMO (it’s almost as extensive as the lists at the Hopleaf and the Map Room).
here’s my blog post about voting today:

- Real News - Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 12:07 pm:
Hillary didn’t snub anyone this morning, she’s had to cancel many media interviews due to a cough. It’s been well reported, so to say they were “snubbed” is simply making things up.
- Jake From Elwood - Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 1:01 pm:
Rip’s Chicken. Yum.
- Mr. Smith - Tuesday, Feb 5, 08 @ 1:55 pm:

Our Journal reporters were in the Northwest Suburbs covering the 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th Congressional races along with the 66th state rep race and several smaller races. Our guys were in the field filing on the spot. Complete coverage in the Friday edition an on the web at http://www.journal-topics.com.
I saw the rout in the 10th as Dan Seals eclipsed Jay Footlik.
