Maag has a smart team behind him. I just hope they can cross the finish line. It’s a tough one.

Maag is toast. The Karmeier folks have tied the trial lawyers around his neck.

Maag has a good ad that defines the race in his terms. “I’m for you, the little guy…. he’s for the insurance companies, the tobacco companies, the big shots…. Unfortunately, it’s only been running two days and the race was lost for Maag when the GOP very successully defined the race in their terms. Namely, medical malpractice and the corrupt Madison County cabal. Maag spent the first month of his paid media trying to innoculate himself from that charge rather than define the race in his own terms.

there’ll be a lot of this kind of thing-

Obama’s trying to reach down ticket and pull Dems with him- way down ticket in some cases-

The DeKalb Dems will run newspaper ads featuring Obama’s support for the entire slate from State Rep to State’s Atty to County Board

Drive around Evanston, and you’ll see similar signs proclaiming an “Obama - I forget the name” “ticket.”
