Jim Dey: "Even by Illinois’ tawdry standards, it’s unusual to have a candidate running for two offices at the same time. But Giannoulias isn’t the only one pulling off a two-fer. U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley is also running for re-election in November and mayor in the spring. There is, however, one big difference. If Quigley is elected mayor, a special election will be held in which voters will fill his House seat. If Giannoulias is elected mayor, however, there will be an election of sorts in which the winner needs just one special vote — that of the governor of Illinois."
