With a Brown victory in its rear view mirror, the GOPP (Grand Ol' Palin Party) is now attacking the Senate Seat that was once represented by President BOB.
While Chicago has been traditionally democratic, this is a Senate seat and the results of MA indicate that plenty of gullible or corrupt folks can tilt this election towards Palinsanity.

CHICAGO -- Not a good week for the Democrats here trying to hang on to President Obama's old Senate seat.
The party's leading contender -- state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias -- has spent these last precious days before Tuesday's primary scrambling to explain why regulators have targeted his struggling family bank for greater oversight. Giannoulias, once a senior lending officer at Broadway Bank, is being pressed relentlessly by his Democratic rivals and the media about his role in the bank's woes.
Republicans promise that it is not a topic that will go away.
The Senate race in the president's home state will be among the most symbolically important and expensive races in the country this year. After Republican Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts this month, the GOP sees a clear path to victory in this Democratic state -- and his name is Mark Kirk.
Kirk, 50, a moderate five-term Republican House member, appears to be the man of the moment. As the likely GOP nominee to emerge Tuesday, Kirk is seen as a formidable, well-funded candidate, a Navy Reserve officer who has done two tours in Afghanistan and who can withstand the weight of a White House set to defeat him."
