The top candidates for U.S. Senate and governor chatted up voters in Chicago this morning before hopping on planes to tour Illinois in frenzied, day-before-the-election campaigning.
U.S. Senate hopeful Mark Kirk and GOP governor candidate Bill Brady met bleary-eyed suburban commuters this morning as the crowds stepped off Metra trains. Both candidates said they're feeling comfortable that independent voters will break their way, but Kirk acknowledged anything can happen in Illinois.
After weeks of bombarding their opponents with negative attack ads on TV, Brady and Kirk were softening their partisan edges in the final hours hoping to appeal to independents who may still be on the fence. Kirk and Brady are scheduled to end up at the Wheaton Bowl tonight for a Republican rally.

The state of Illinois should have new government officials by the end of tomorrow, with one including one of these Republicans. They have spent a good portion of their time talking bad about the other and recently have begun to talk more about what they plan on doing in office. Both have steadily increased their support as they have traveled all across the state within the past 2 weeks. I think both of these candidates would be great choices, but their biggest problem is they take away votes from Republicans because there both Republicans.
