Please DU this poll! IL Senate choice!

[evil_orange_cat]

It's on a website for a sports radio station here in Chicago. There's a Republican tool on from 2pm-6pm that is lobbying for Ditka to run for the US Senate seat here in Illinois. Please vote for Barack Obama!

Thanks.

[Tweed]

Get out the vote!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. Dude, it's a sports radio show

What do you really expect to happen?

[evil_orange_cat]

5. I know, but let's even out those results.

;)

[murielm99]

6. OMG!

It is 68% for that inarticulate jock!

Get going, people!

I will be voting for Obama in the fall, too.

The best thing we can do is ridicule Ditka from here to November.

The man is not qualified. And anyone who associates themselves with repukes in THIS state smells pretty bad.

(I wish you had posted this in the Illinois forum).

7. 63% Ditka 39% Obama right now

[evil_orange_cat]

[Longhorn]

9. Looks to me like you can vote more than once if you open a new window.

I don't know if they count but Obama is up to 36 percent.

[madrchsod]

10. have you listened to b&b

take on ditka? ya north and buffone are idiots and really should stick to sports..b&b is the only good political commentators in Chicago-and they host a sports program. for a democratic city that is pathetic..guess i better turn on the radio and see who they`re ripping on today....

[evil_orange_cat]

11. boers and bernstein are the best...

they constantly rip on Bush, which is great! They call him president "Haywood" rofl...

[madrchsod]

16. opps i see you do

well at least we can spread the word.....

[wicket]

12. done

[UdoKier]

13. A lot of people consider coaching experience to be leadership experience.

Personally, I think it's 2 whole different worlds...

[MallRat]

We've got our work cut out, folks.

[madrchsod]

15. i suggest you listen to

b&b esp Thursday afternoon during "who you crapping" where some very interesting political comment is phoned in by listeners-and of course the "who you crapping" is what ditka asked a reporter..check out b&b you`d be surprised..

41. I heard this on the radio and was planning on posting a thead about this

when I returned to work. Good to see you guys are already on it.

I just voted - still 55% for Obama.

An FYI, the Score itself is running radio ads glorifying Ditka running for Senate. Boors and Bernstein, from the 10 minutes I was able to hear, were great...acknowledging the obvious - that Ditka is a bit of an idiot and it shows just how desperate the Illinois GOP is.

I haven't been able to listen to Mike North for a while now, but I'm sure he will be spending 90% the time trying to drum up support for Ditka.

[evil_orange_cat]

42. kick!

keep voting people!! ;)

[evil_orange_cat]

43. kick again!

;)

[evil_orange_cat]

44. OMG, Ditka is leading with 58% again! Help and vote!

[Tweed]

45. It's probably rigged and/or we are dealing with sports fans here

Hell if I came across this in a non-DU mind set, I might have even voted for Ditka. Don't worry about it.

[chiburb]

46. Mike North, the wing-nut host of the show...

Probably mentioned the results and exhorted his listeners to vote. Hr really is a nut job...

[chiburb]

47. It lets you vote as many times as you want...

They probably have 10 repuketivists doing nothing but clicking for Limp Ditka, Lavitira pitchman.

[evil_orange_cat]

48. 64% ditka... noooo we're losing!

:(
