This Way to the Congress

Your LakeCountyEye trained the microscope at the Eighth Congressional District this week ...

The Eighth is Enough

There is a crowded primary in the offing, at least on the Republican side. The reader, ie you, was challenged to identify the candidates. Could you match-up some mug shots with some names? The results are in and not surprisingly you did quite well when it came to IDing Maria Rodriguez. However you seemed to have nary the clue when it came to identifying the other candidates Joe Walsh, Greg Jacobs or John Dawson. The results were not much better than random chance. This may be an indication of Rodriguez's superior name recognition. Or it may be an indication that Rodriguez was the only female in the survey. In any event, the raw numbers have been forwarded to Price-Waterhouse for additional analysis.

Candidate A	Candidate B	Candidate C	Candidate D

You were correct if you sent in these answers:

• Candidate A / Maria Rodriguez (R)
• Candidate B / Joe Walsh (R)
• Candidate C / Greg Jacobs (R)
• Candidate D / John Dawson (R)

To those east coasters who have felt slighted by your LakeCountyEye, here is your chance to shine. Your challenge is to test your skills against those in the Eighth District. There are no less than four candidates who want to succeed Mark Kirk. They are, in no particular order ...

• Elizabeth Coulson (R)
• Bob Dold (R)

• Bill Cadigan (R)
