I'm reading press reports of Senator Durbin criticizing Republican challenger Oberweis on his use of Black business and service providers during this last month of campaign spending BUT what I did NOT hear Durbin balance his criticism of Oberweis' spending with WHERE is Senator Durbin's campaign spending with Black business and service providers during this historic month of campaign spending?

As a veteran Black political activist - The BEST argument for Senator Durbin against Oberweis' spending this last month of election spending is to announce HOW MUCH of his last month of campaign spending is being done in this same Black community where Durbin too wants Black votes.   WHERE is Senator Durbin's Black Field Offices; WHERE are Durbins ads on WVON and other Black media etc???

If the Black community is to take Durbin's criticism of Oberweis SERIOUS then the only thing I want to hear from Durbin is that he will have an equally funded Black community outreach budget to match the Black outreach budget of Oberweis!!! The Black community deserves a righteous competition from both Durbin and Oberweis!  This election cannot go down in history as the most expensive in campaign spending and these candidates cannot publicly show where this important Black community vote was a part of that historic spending!!!
