  • How receptive would you say Chicagolanders are to outside influence? What I mean, and why I ask, is that I agree there is a huge amount of attention on this race, and also, is that I think different states accept varying degrees of outside influence on their elections. For example, I think states like, idk, Maine for example, I think Mainers get particularly annoyed by any perceived outside influence on their election. They’ll re-elect Susan Collins just to spite the national party; they’ll stick with the guy with an alleged Nazi tattoo because it looked like a smear campaign, like the oppo was coming from Schumer/ the national party.

    Some other states are like this, Wyoming, Minnesota, Wisconsin. I could probably put together a list. Other states are less insular, like California, New York, maybe Texas, Arizona.

    Whats the mood on the ground? Does it feel like the attention on this race is helping or hurting Abughazaleh? How is Chicago feelign?
