WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

The top Republican in the Illinois State House of Representatives is accusing Democrats of using harsh lies in their campaign literature.

Was it the comeback for the president? Victory, it turns out, is in the eye of the undecided voter.

The phrase “Chicago-style politics” has been used in this presidential election cycle against Obama —and even in elections closer to home in Illinois. 

President Barack Obama ripped into Mitt Romney's economic blueprint in a town hall style debate Tuesday night, accusing his rival of favoring only a "one-point plan" to help the rich at the expense of the middle class. 

It's do or die for the president at his second debate with GOP challenger Mitt Romney.

Outside groups spent nearly $22 million into Illinois House races, more than $8 million from super PACs.

Depressed Democrats had a lot to cheer about in the vice president's debate peformance, which was pitched straight at them.
