Two senatorial elections in Ill.
One for the regular term upcoming and one to do the last two months of the current term, the seat formerly held by Obama and now by Burris.
How weird is that?
It would be even weirder if they are not both won by the same person.
Go Alexei! (and Quinn)

1. agreed
If Alexei and Quinn don't win I will have lost all faith in Illinois voters, especially cause Kirk's great wish was that W Bush choose him as the presidential sex slave, and Brady is fucking insane and anyone who would vote for him probably didn't graduate from high school.

2. Quinn is polling quite badly.
What are his chances at this point?

3. FiveThirtyEight gives him about 1 in 8 chance of pulling it off

I wish there was something I could do to help, but I despise interacting with hostile strangers (and thus would not do well bugging random people about him) and I can ill afford to donate to his campaign (not to mention not wanting to deal with the endless barrage of junk mail and phone calls asking for more.)
