A race to the finish

Tonight is the night before the election for the 5th Congressional District's special primary and you can feel the urgency in the air. The seat was formerly held by Rahm Emanuel, now the Chief of Staff to President Obama. Those vying for the spot include 12 Dems, 6 Republicans, and 4 Green Party candidates. Yep, there are 22 in all fighting for the coveted spot and it has gotten ugly. I can't wait to see how this primary turns out - some of my best friends are working on various campaigns and I can't wait to have them back! One thing is for sure, politics in this city are never boring. 

For those who live in the 5th be sure to vote tomorrow! The Chicago Tribune has a good run-down of the candidates and their positions. Check it out here.
