Democratic Senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias appeared before the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board on Wednesday morning to talk about his role as a loan officer in the troubled family-owned Broadway Bank. GOP rival Rep. Mark Steven Kirk is making the bank a central issue in the campaign. The story by Chicago Sun-Times political writer Abdon Pallasch is here. Giannoulias is also meeting with the Chicago Tribune editorial board this morning.
The Giannoulias campaign on Wednesday morning sent out a release taking note of Giannoulias meetings at the two papers and the launching of a website named TruthAboutAlexi.com, to” fight the lies being circulated by Republicans and their surrogates.”
