CHICAGO -- Democratic Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has narrowly defeated his Republican challenger.

An AP analysis of uncounted votes from absentee and other ballots shows state Sen. Bill Brady won't be able to overcome the just more than 19,400-vote lead Quinn holds with 100 percent of precincts reporting Thursday.

2. Just posted this in LBN, but

it's great to see it again, another chance for a :bounce: . I kept checking on this ever since Tuesday night. And yes, in case it is not obvious, I do live in IL.

3. I hear on the news Dayton was ahead by over 10,000 and they

won't call his race. Emmer's republican lawyers from DC are going to make them recount and recount and recount they said. They said he is the governor and they are going to recount til they get the votes. So what does that tell you. They just want to hold up the process.

4. Must sting Obama to know his Senate seat went to a Repub though.

6. Probably stings more that certain liberals think calling him a "boy" is worth a K&R

5. YES! Way to stay BLUE, IL!!
