Election day in Illinois is a week from now, March 16th. As usual we are too late to have any impact on the Presidential nomination process, but there’s an important Senate race. Republican Peter Fitzgerald is retiring, and chances are good that he’ll be replaced by a Democrat.
I’ll be voting for Barak Obama. (He seems to be leading the race at the moment, but my preferences are usually the kiss of death, so he’ll likely be issuing a press release declining my endorsement.) Not only was he president of the Harvard Law Review, he also has the grooviest campaign song of any of the candidates. (Via Crescat Sententia.)
I’ll be traveling for the next week — first the Perimeter Institute, then the University of North Carolina — so blogging may be spotty. Hang in there.
