• Illinois

* Tribune: Many of the biggest donors to Democratic state treasurer candidate Alexi Giannoulias also received millions of dollars in loans from his family’s Broadway Bank–some making their campaign contributions within weeks or months of receiving the loans, a Tribune analysis shows

* TIME.com: In a match-up where neither candidate’s policy agenda has found much traction, it’s hard to bet against the one whose budget for attack ads is virtually limitless.

* KFVS: With just a month away from the November general election, many voters in Southern Illinois can’t make heads or tails out of the two candidates running for governor. Southern Illinois University Professor John Jackson says that’s because there’s been more finger pointing, than talking about the issues.

* Where did all the people go? - 7 years later, are the raze-and-rebuild plans succeeding?

* Denial of Duff appeal could be bad news for Sorich

* Klau: Hastert Robo Call in the 14th

* Tribune editorial: You’re the clerk. Uh, congrats

1. This is precisely why Alexi won’t fit in to Illinois politics…he should be finding some way to launder taxpayer money in to political contributions.

   Using his family owned business to collect political contributions is sooo……Oberweiss.
   And we all know how we feel about *him*

   p.s. If Alexi is doing something illegal, why aren’t the Feds all over him?

2. Wow. That Hastert robocall is really something. So, any criticism of how Hastert handled (or, rather, didn’t handle) the Foley matter is really a front for electing Hillary as President? Wow, again.

3. This Dem will be voting for a GOPer in more than one race this year…it started with the county board prez race, now add State Treasurer.

4. I agree with Senator Obama, Alexi Giannoulias is one of the finest young men I have ever met. Alexi is also one of the most upstanding, honest and hardest workers I have ever met. He will do a great job as our State Treasurer.

5. read the tribune story–there is no story! it’s a big waste of front-page real estate. neither Alexi nor the bank has done anything wrong. has his opponent accepted contributions from anyone, including PAC’s, who or which might benefit from the policies and practices of the treasurer’s office? or perhaps from her husband’s law clients?
