S(c)hocked


While trolling through the campaign contributions at the Illinois State Board of Elections Campaign Disclosure site, we were a little surprised to find this last minute contribution to Citizens for Schock:

Khazzam, Alexis N

$16,000.00
11/2/2006


We were, frankly, also a little surprised at this one:

Illinois PAC for Education (IPACE)

$10,000.00
11/1/2006

seeing as how they usually fund Dems a little more heavily. A little further investigation reveals that Big Education did fund Republican candidates a little heavier this time around, but only if they were incumbents. Next to nothing went to Republican challengers. Interesting.

We will be posting some more numbers (what we were originally searching for) in the near future.
