20 candidiates still on the ballot. robin kelly i see a renaissance in the wings. robin kelly may be seeing a renaissance of her own in this special election. of the 11 candidates who attended todays aarp sponsored forum in south suburban matteson. she is the only one seeing major support. two million dollars in ad buys from an out of state super pac controlled by new york mayor michael bloomberg. alderman anthony beale we constantly send rich people to washington. 15 chicago democratic alderman athony beale is one of those not happy with the influx of money from outside the second district. beale the people should be outraged that somebody is pouring 2 million dollars into a district saying 'here is my candidate' from new york and telling what theyre supposed to do and who theyre supposed to vote for. halvorson you should never pay the price you are for prescription drugs. former congresswoman debbie halvorson, another recognizable name in this crowded race, believes it will be the message

not the money that shines through next tuesday. debbie halvorson thats why were not going to let a new york mayor like michael bloomberg spend millions of dollars trying to buy this election and so bloomberg and his candidate need to watch out because illinois voters want to decide who is going to win this election. three candiates have dropped out in recent days, most notably state senator toi hutchinson a leading candidate who then threw her support to robin kelly. kelly denies any connection to the super pac or mayor bloomberg. robin kelly really, at the end of the day its what happens with the voters and who votes. that is really the bottom line. its not the money thats coming in. its really about how many more votes i get than somebody else. thats just the bottom line. but money wins sometimes. money wins sometimes but money doesnt win all the time. the special election takes place next tuesday. alderman beale did tell me he's been asked by a number of influential people to drop out

mistakes made and give him another trial. if the judge refuses to grant a new trial the day after that hearing, he will face sentencing for his wife's murder he still does not understand how he was convicted in a case with no evidence. he is back there trying to figure out what he has been convicted. his fourth wife stacey pederson is still missing. the price of gas keeps going up with no signs of easing anytime soon. but tonight, we'll tell you how you can get some relief at the pump at the grocery store. plus, gold rush on pieces of that huge meteorite that crashed in russia late last week. from the weather center, temperatures are plunging after a springlike 52 degrees today. the cold weather is coming and
