CNN reports:
Eager to prevent an embarrassing loss of his old Senate seat, President Obama is heading to Chicago Thursday for two fundraisers on behalf of Democratic Senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias, and CNN has learned Obama will be returning home yet again in the final days of the midterm election to try and help Giannoulias win a race that could determine who controls the chamber next year.
Two senior Democratic officials told CNN to expect Obama to return to Illinois at least one more time in the final few weeks of the campaign in order to go to bat for Giannoulias, who is locked in a virtual dead heat with Republican nominee Mark Kirk.
Kirk has a statistically insignificant 1.2% edge in an average of the polls compiled by Real Clear Politics.

But the Democrats don't seem to be putting much money into this race. The RINO has a big edge in cash, and the Republican national committees have dumped a lot more money here than the Democrats.

It would be a nice scalp to collect.

Seems the GOP could have won this walking away if they'd nominated a real conservative for the race.
Siegfried X| 10.7.10 @ 4:48PM
Yup. But Mark Kirk prevented that. He threw a public temper tantrum, saying that he wouldn't run unless the Illinois Republican Party promised not to run against him in the primary. After a week of negotiations he got what he wanted. (Kirk had only self-funded, inexperienced primary opponents.)
Round #2 was knocking the Constitution Party off the ballot, so voters wouldn't have that third party conservative option. The appeals are still going on, but it is too late for them to be added back to the ballot. They submitted over 33,000 signatures but Republican lawyers knocked it below the 25,000 required. After appeals they are less than 80 votes short, but there isn't time to fight it.
