Join CLTV for live coverage of the Illinois primary starting at 6pm on Tuesday, February 5th. We'll have all the latest national primary results and keep the focus on local races important to you.
There is an unprecedented amount of interest in this year's presidential race, and the Chicago area is lucky enough to have ties to the two Democratic candidates.
CLTV's coverage will be anchored by Amy Rutledge and Tonya Francisco with UIC's Dick Simpson providing commentary. We will be live from several locations including Barack Obama's headquarters (we hear he will be there), and the Cook County Board of Elections where they will be handling an estimated record turnout for a primary.
We will also provide extensive coverage of the Cook County State's Attorney race (there are 6 Democrats!) and the 14th Congressional District race to fill the seat held by Dennis Hastert. Our camera crews will also capture Hillary Clinton and John McCain supporters as they watch the evening unfold.
Guests joining us throughout the evening include former Governor Jim Edgar, Senator Dick Durbin and Roland Burris. And, we'll hear from reporters at the Chicago Tribune about the races they're covering.
CLTV will have the results on our screen for all the local races just as soon as they are available. We will be the only television source for extensive coverage of local races early in the evening.
So please join us. We will want to hear from you during the broadcast about what's on your mind as you watch the returns come in. You can send an email to cltvdesk@tribune.com if you have questions.
