WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

Today, Tony Arnold did another great piece in a series of profiles of congressional district races in our area. He's already profiled the races in the 10th and 11th, and today was all about the fighting 14th. The 14th district was represented by Dennis Hastert for years.

It's almost Halloween which means Obama and McCain supporters are showing their support by carving election-themed pumpkins.

Last Friday when Tony Arnold went to Glenview I hitched a ride up the Edens with him.

In doing my reporting on the race for Illinois' 10th Congressional District, I visited the Glenview Public Library. Every Friday, a group of about a dozen people meet there to discuss current events.

If you love political polling, it is indeed a great time to be alive. MarkGlaser over at MediaShift posted a comprehensive overview of the top polling sites this election cycle.

Reporter Tony Arnold, who you may have seen at the Chicago Marathon, is jumping around the region to cover the hotly-contested congressional races in the suburbs. Last week, he and I headed to Joliet, Illinois, to check on the race between Democrat Debbie Halvorson and Republican Martin Ozinga.
