In Illinois, Obama Holds Wide Lead

In Illinois, a Wilson Research Strategies poll shows Barack Obama (D) "currently leading all candidates in the race to replace" Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (R).

In the survey, Obama led Jack Ryan (R) "by a healthy margin 44% to 28%, with other candidates combining for less than 5% and 18% still undecided."

This is great news, but we all need to concentrate on getting the strongest dem candidates nominated there respective states for senate. We still face a disadvantage overall in my opinion. So off the top of my head I think we need to get Chris John nominated in LA and Alex Penelas in Florida. In Georgia, I'm not sure who the best dem would be and I think we should try to get a cross voting effort to make sure that Herman Cain doesn't get nominated over Isaacson or Collins.

Hooryaa for Obama.

Would love to see those numbers even higher. Obama is a big part of the future of our party.
