2. I can hardly believe that Duckworth (IL) is a toss up.

She rolled 18 on charisma. And recently gave birth to a kid even though her legs were blown off in Iraq. Plus, she is as sharp as a tack.

There is no way Tammy does not win a US Senate seat.

There is no stopping her.

This is a statewide election in IL! Not an 8th congressional district election.

Let me remind people:

4. Tammy Duckworth is going to win the 2016 Illinois US Senate race but the question is how much is she

going to win by?

narrow margin or high single digit margin.

6. It's 50-50 in IL. Kirk probably gets the sympathy vote. If Obama couldn't pull the last guy over the

line I doubt Hillary can do anything for Duckworth here.

7. The last two IL US Senate Races took place in 2010 and 2014- midterm election years.

2010 was Obama's first midterm election, open seat to replace Obama/Burris. Kirk-R narrowly defeated Giannoulias-D
2014 was Obama's second midterm election, Durbin-D was running for a fourth term-defeated Oberweis by a 10 percent margin.
Unlike 2010,2016 is a Presidential Election year and Hillary Clinton and Tammy Duckworth will be on the ballot the same time. The voters that stay home in midterm election years but vote in Presidential election years will vote for Hillary Clinton for President and Tammy Duckworth for US Senate.

8. OK we'll see but I still think it'll be a slog.

9. 2010 was sort of a mess

The Blago scandal over the IL Senate seat seemed to irrevocably taint the Democratic placeholder and subsequent Democratic Senate candidate. And it was a midterm election in a year where the "Tea Party" was, inexplicably, the most powerful force in politics and the Democratic vote was depressed or non-existent. Hopefully, we can do much better in 2016.

3. Remember that polls don't mean much this FAR out.

10. If the TPP passes with Wyden's name on it I have to wonder if he'll be in trouble

I have supported him for 18 years in the Senate, but am not happy about his involvement in the TPP.
