So who do y'all think is the favorite in Illinois senate? Krishnamoorthi, Kelly and Stratton are in and i guess we're waiting on Underwood? Priztker and Duckworth are behind Stratton but i'm not sure how much pull they have nor how well known she is.

I think Stratton is currently the favorite because of those two endorsements and the fact that Pritzker said he'll help fund her campaign. I'd put Krishnamoorthi second for his own impressive fundraising ability and his Obama creds. This kinda puts Kelly as third, which is no shade, I think she's wonderful, but the two above are definitely gonna put up a fight. Though Kelly's arguably overcome even more daunting odds, so I wouldn't be surprised if she surges to a top spot.
For what it's worth, Robin Kelly will be 70 years old when the next Congress is sworn in. Stratton will be 60, and Krisnamoorthi will be 52. 70 seems a bit old to start a Senate career, especially with age becoming more of a focus after all the recent deaths and health issues among older Democratic members. Dem voters are eager for generational change, and I'm not sure replacing an 80-year-old with a 70-year-old achieves that.

Krishnamoorthi must have some mighty expensive bills already. I live in IL and received four fundraising texts from his campaign today alone.
He has $19m in his Senate account. He got it somehow.

OhтАж. Kelly is 70? No no no. She wants a career cap. No no no.
I'm solidly behind Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, she reminds me of Carol Moseley-Braun and she's solid!! ЁЯТЩЁЯЗ║ЁЯЗ▓
Is that a good thing?!? She served one term for a reason.
I didn't mean in a bad way; she's obviously a huge upgrade. ЁЯТЩЁЯЗ║ЁЯЗ▓
