>> in nine hours, the polls across illinois will open, the voters facing crucial choices, julius, brady o'quinn, the consequences on the state and washington dc. >> i'm micah materre. >> and i'm mark suppelsa. >> we begin our coverage seen on wgn with our team of reporters out with republicans and democrats. first wgn's lourdes duarte. >> reporter: hi, i'm following democrats. julius who's running for obama's former senate seat and pat quinn

who's running for governor. it's been a very busy day for them. quinn touring the state and julius making a stop at a number of places and ending here at a straupt in greek town with at least 150 supporters with them. quinn, meanwhile, as i mentioned flew around the state and did a campaign rally outside tonight in his headquarters. you can see his main focus today was on the project "put illinois to work." both janewliuous and quinn have received quite a bit of support from the white house with president obama making several trips to chicago to support them as well as first lady michelle obama, she's made a stop here, as well as vice president joe biden. all of that hasn't been enough support to give either of them a commanding lead over the polls. janulluous was 3 points behind mark kirk, his opponent. similar with quinn who's neck and neck with bill brady. and tonight, you ask either

candidate and they say things are looking good for tomorrow. >> we've seen, quite frankly, a lot of folks coming out to vote. last week, there were lines around the corner. the absentee ballots are coming in in droves. so we're very confident, especially with cook county being there. it's great. >> we're not going to have a governor who wants to cut our schools by over a billion dollars, and we're not going to have a governor who wants to take awake health care from children. those kind of values i don't think reflect the values of the people of illinois. >> reporter: and believe it or not, both candidates will be getting a little bit of sleep tonight, but they've got busy days tomorrow. for quinn, the day begins at about 10:00 a.m. he will be voting with his two sons and then he'll take his 93-year-old mother to vote at about noon. for janulius, the day starts much earlier, he'll be voting at about 7:00 a.m. and heading out to shake hands and perhaps get

more people to head out and vote. that is the story live in greek town tonight. lourdes duarte, wgn news, back to you. >> thanks. on the republican side, state-wide candidates wrapping up their campaign in the all important collar counties to get their message. >> a republican rally in wheaton with the message. >> reporter: they're working to set themselves apart from these democratic opponents, urging republicans to get to the poll and is bring friends along with them. bill brady and mark kirk spent today flying around the state shaking every hand they possibly could. after an ugly campaign full of attack ads, they're reaching out to the centerists, independent and undecided, both sides working to get voters off the fence to come their way. >> we're going to move illinois from the joke of every

monologue. [laughter] to the forefront of pride in this countries. [applause]. a brady plumber administration is going to end the cloak of secrecy and bring transparency and openness to the illinois government for the people of illinois. >> i want to keep taxes low for all americans and alexy janulius wants to raise your taxes in spring field and in washington. send me to the united states senate and i will spend less borrow less. >> kirk taking a breath on the way into that rally and launching the same points, attacking their opponents on taxation spending, reflecting the closeness of these races, the polls showing an extremely

narrow divide for the governor race. >> thanks. a last minute effort to get the democrats to the polls, the president did a radio interview with ryan seacrest on his show. that will air tomorrow. he also taped interviews for election days with hosts in milwaukee, cincinnati, philadelphia, honno lieu lieu, miami. he's campaigning in florida, new hampshire and hawaii, which kind of gives you an idea of the key states. >> chicago tribune john cass and clarence page will also be a big part of our coverage tomorrow night and they join us to try to break all of it down for us. welcome, gentlemen. first of all let's start off with the governor's race in illinois. the poll showing pat quinn and bill brady very close. it ain't over until it's over. you see people on the street saying, who should i vote for. >> it's remarkable how you have such offsetting positive and negatives with each candidate and their parties.

quinn is burdened by, a democrat at a time when people are angry at democrats, especially in illinois after the rob blagojevich scandal so it's been a real neck and neck race down to the wire. >> john cass. >> it seems that if mark kirk could have been a shoe-in if he'd not lied and stretched the truth on his military record and here we are in a neck and neck race. >> he should have been a shoe-in but if you look at what the balance that the job entails, a junior senator sits there, basically takes direction from dick durban. ultimately, the senator has a choice and picks prosecutors so if people want alexy to pick a federal prosecutor some day or kirk, they have to consider that. >> and look what happened when the federal prosecutor was selected here, patrick fitzgerald. it's been nothing but a virtual housecleaning in the city known for corruption. >> right so i think we should

extend his term. [laughter] >> we talk about polling, but you know, how much do we rely on polling? how much should we look at polling? the folks out there who are watching, not everybody's polls, you know, how much is it? >> the polls work, otherwise politicians wouldn't be spending so much money on them. they do work. but when you have these races within the margin of error which is all we've got in the governor's race and race of senate race, you know, that's where people surprise you. that's what democracy is about. >> one thing, the big races, governor, senate, we're polling all the time, we're talking about them, we write about them. wgn tribute polls that we have. but there are other races where you don't really hear it as much. >> and you think it would be more important. >> actually, probably the biggest most important campaign in this state in my mind in terms of the politics of the future is the speaker of the house, and it's so important it's not even on the ballot.

that's how important it is for the machine. >> how so? >> well, if you vote for a democrat for legislature in your district, you're actually voting for madigan, and that is the key campaign, because that means everything for the future after the next governor's elected. >> could affect his daughter too in a lot of ways. >> mike wants his daughter to be governor madigan some day. >> lisa madigan. >> if he's the speaker, he'll be able to squeeze the next governor, like play dough or whatever, the second most powerful democrat in the state behind mayor daily and now dale segoing out and madigan is on the top perch. last time madigan was not speaker was in the 1994 debockle. >> for one term. >> and the county assessor, bearios is running for that.

>> clay says he's an independent and i think he picks up the phone to talk to daily from time to time. >> got about 45 seconds, the big national races. >> 45 seconds or less, can you talk about it. >> the big question is how big will democrats win the house. this is the way things are looking -- i'm sorry, how republicans will win the house and do they have a chance of taking the senate. probably not, but again, you've got a bunch of key races that are very tight, including in illinois. >> harry reed, absolutely. and out there, you can vote for none of the above. >> that's a great factor. >> we might do that in illinois. wouldn't that be great. >> i like it but another big race, he did everything president obama, bought into the liberal agenda and looks like he's going to go down. >> everybody's against them right now. >> you know what, the president

always gets what could in the second term, in the first term, mid-term. that's what happens, republicans and democrats usually go the other way. >> we'll be back tomorrow. you'll be sitting right here helping us throughout this long ordeal. >> we'll be hanging out with you all night. >> that's right. >> like it or not. >> tomorrow night, john cass and clarence page and a host of others, part of our election coverage team, coverage starts at 5:00 and continues from 6:00 to 9:00 at 9:00 and until the major races are decided. we'll have results on wgn. the entire evening is being streamed live on wgntv.com. >> if you have any questions, go to wgntv.com, we have all kinds of questions and answers on our website. just click on 2010 decision. that tab gives you all the q and the as. and that's right. we want to hear from you. do you think the republican party will take control of the us senate? we saukd about it a minute ago. you can vote online at

that's done tours in chicago since 1935. the cook county medical examiner has yet to release a cause of death while the ntsb continues to investigate. the plane went up around 3:30 in the afternoon and then came straight down. >> witness reports is that it did get into the air and some reason it came back down and crashed right alongside the run way. >> reporter: and again, wgn is learning the identification of the deceased member. the pilot in that plane, we understand he is a relative of the windella family, again, those famous cruises people are familiar with as they tour chicago's river right in the heart of downtown. this plane has been tied up here in recent days, and by that i mean at the airport, that includes recent days when we've had all these high winds. no one is willing to say at this time whether it was operator error, whether there was a

problem in the plane. it didn't appear to be any weather conditions that could play a part in this. bordstrom as we learned in the village, he had it here as a temporary resident. the plane was built in the 1940s, and ntsb will get the final word on exactly how this tragedy came down. >> julie unruh reporting live. coming up on wgn news at 9:00, terror scare, new details about the mail bomb destined for two synagogues in chicago. if you're gay and looking to join the military, once again, not so fast.

effect machine on later in the week. more on that in a moment. here's the temperatures, and the highs, showing warmer air coming up through the plain states. nowhere is there anything barbarically cold until you get way up north into the arctic, and that's where the chill that will tape later in the week is developing tonight. we'll tug a good bit of that down and bring it down to the lake, and even get a couple of ice pellets mixed in with the lake effect rain showers later in the week. 43 here, 37 up the lake in green bay, deluth at 39, and those readings are an improvement over 24 hours ago and look how dry the air is, how we're keeping the really humid air down to the south with the rains, and just to give you a feel for low temperatures this time of the year, here were the lows this morning across the continent, and you see how chilly it gets up north, but again we'll tap a little bit of that for a couple of days later in the week. we've got a big lake weekend warm-up coming in that will last

early next week and toward the end of the two-week period we'll get cold again but things are moving right along. 68% is our current humidity here, and see the big ridge that's developing in the jet stream and how this flow comes roaring in? this speed max and the winds in that jet stream will be over 140 miles an hour, and they will roar in from the north at the same time the surface winds are doing the same thing. it's the perfect lake effect setup but it's days away because tomorrow, another spotless day expected, not a drop of rain within hundreds of miles for election day and this little front comes through during the day on wednesday, could bring a brief showers and look at the isobars packing in that mammoth high from the north. watch the whole thing unfold here. we showed you the purple areas the frost and freeze advisories for parts of the country and here's the real cold air that comes diving in on the 140 miles

effect machine to get going. it will start snow flakes in the clouds and the water temperatures are in the low 50s and the winds coming down out of that water will bring some of the warmth in here so those late thursday, thursday night, friday, lake effect rain showers could be mixed with ice pellets, and we'll give way to sunshine and 60s by sunday and monday it would appear so kind of a quick hit, and then it gets out of here. that's not a bad way to play your cool air. >> that's okay, yeah. >> all right. >> see you later, guys. >> thank you, bye tom. after saturday's dramatic fourth quarter come-back, the bulls welcome the best team in the west to the uc. and the blackhawks had to the big apple with a match up with the rangers. sports is next.
