As the polls open in Illinois, Fox News looks at the mounting problems for Dem frontrunner Alexi Giannoulias surrounding his family’s bank. Less than 24 hours before election day in Illinois, the front runner for the U.S. Senate Democratic primary is facing more negative press surrounding his family’s bank. Democratic candidate, Alexi Giannoulias, worked as Vice President and senior loan officer at Broadway Bank, founded by his late father, prior to getting elected State Treasurer in 2006. New documents filed with the FDIC reveal Broadway Bank lost more than $75 million dollars in the past year.

While Roll Call picks up the NRSC rebuttal to the Democrats’ poorly-planned pre-primary spin. Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, blasted the DSCC’s public relations offensive. “If the Democrats’ bar for candidates to avoid the ‘loser’ label is 80 percent, then I look forward to hearing what they’ll have to say about their own nominee in Illinois on Wednesday morning,” Walsh said. “Clearly this isn’t a very forward-thinking spin effort. The reality is that Republicans have a real pickup opportunity in the president’s backyard this November, thanks to the Democrats’ tainted record of corruption and ethical lapses in Illinois.”

And the New York Post delves into the “real trouble” brewing at home for President Obama, as Democrats face the very embarrassing possibility of watching the Senate seat once held by Obama falling into Republican control. Even more ominous for Obama today is that voters will choose which Republican and which Democrat will face off in the general election to fill Obama’s old Senate seat. If all goes as widely expected, Republicans today will pick Rep. Mark Kirk, an experienced centrist, and Democrats will pick Alexi Giannoulias, an Obama pal and state treasurer. In a general election, Giannoulias — who, through his family’s bank, has shady ties to mob figures — will become a seamy stand-in for Obama.
