With yesterday's petitioning deadline come and gone and the deadline to petition challengers and withdraw from a race approaching next Monday, there's still just a teeny bit of positioning left to do for this February's primaries, but the races are starting to shape up. Luckily for us, WBEZ has a nice, concise breakdown of who's running for what. For instance, did you know that there were actually a few Republicans running for Cook County Board President, too? But seriously, the list is pretty comprehensive though we'll know more a week from now, especially as we await on which race U.S. Rep. Danny Davis will settle on.

Thank you (no sarcasm) for pointing that there are Republicans running for president of the Cook County Board.
If Stroger wins the primary, I hope that Democrat voters will vote against him. Keep an open mind. A Republican heading the Cook County Board would be a great thing.
The fact the Republicans have their own primary in that race is something that's been almost completely ignored by pretty much every media outlet (us included). The allure of Stroger and the controversy surrounding the Democratic free-for-all is powerful.
I am for Republican candidates that are intellegent and present sound ideas as opposed to the crap we deal with now. What makes me nervous is the extreme wings of either party getting some sort of a foothold. When that happens, things go south in a hurry.
If you really want a Republican heading the Board, maybe you should invite President Obama to stump for Stroger.
