Despite the fact that Democrats “won” the early balloting, getting over 52% of those voting to cast Democratic Party ballots, in visible signs they are way behind.

There is a contested primary contest for president in Illinois, yet I have only seen two signs

Both were in the same yard on McHenry Avenue in Crystal Lake.

Both were for Barack Obama.

On Ackman and Miller Roads in Lake in the Hills on developers’ property I saw signs supporting Robert Abboud for Congress.

Abboud is unchallenged in the primary and will fact 16th district Congressman Don Manzullo.

Undoubtedly there are so few signs because there are no countywide primary elections for the Democrats.

The Republicans have two:

• Lou Bianchi versus Dan Regna for state’s attorney
• Pam Palmer versus Richard Kelly for county auditor
