Topinka likely to win, IR poll says. What about gambling?

Which is most likely to happen on Election Day, November 7th?

14.5% Peraica beats Stroger for Cook Co. Prez 3.1% GOP regains IL Senate Majority 1.0% GOP wins IL House Majority 51.8% Topinka beats Blagoejvich for Gov. 24.9% None of the above 4.7% All of the above

Last week's Illinois Review poll indicated that 51% of those participating believe that Judy Baar-Topinka becoming the next governor is more likely than Peraica becoming the next Cook County Board president, the GOP gaining back either the House or the Senate majority.  While 14.5% of those polled believe that Peraica could beat Todd Stroger on November 7, over 24% have little hope that any major GOP state race candidate will win.
