Cunningham clear choice in Clerk's race

Kane County Clerk Jack Cunningham has been widely recognized for his outstanding success in implementing the new eSlate voting systems in Kane County. The 2006 Primary Elections went off without a hitch, and election totals were reported in less than an hour and a half. Match that with the huge success of modernizing the Clerk's office to include more information available on the web, and you have a candidate that is a lock for re-election this fall.

On the Democrat side, challenger Annie Collins believes that her experience as a flight attendant would make her much more qualified to carry out the duties of the office. I guess when she announces where people should vote, she can point to the forward and rear compartments.

The Kane County Chronicle has both of their interviews on-line for you to view.

Congressional Quarterly tracking polls show Republicans holding both the House and Senate

Good news for America. It looks that the united State House of Representatives will not Nancy Pelosi pounding the gavel. Congressional Quarterly, a nationally renown source on all things national shows that both the US House and Senate will stay under the watchful protection of the friendly Republicans. With 12 districts still too close to call, CQ is projecting a 220 to 203 Republican lead in the House, and a 51 to 44 lead in the Senate with 5 states too close to call.

One seat that is in the too close to call column is IL-6. This is the neighboring district being vacated by retiring Congressman Henry Hyde. With Denny Hastert picked to easily defeat Democrat John Laesch, residents of the 14th might want to lend Republican Peter Roskam a hand in insuring that the 6th stays Republican.
