Marni Pyke files this from Kirk Dillard's suburban HQ:

Edward Rader, a teacher at Westwood College and DeVry University, has always voted Democrat. But Tuesday night, he constantly updated election results on a laptop at Dillard's election night event.
Dillard visited the college recently and got the vote of Rader, who said he became disenchanted with his old party after the corruption arrest of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
"When he shook my hand, he seemed honest and genuine and willing to work with anyone," said Rader who lives in Huntley.
Now Rader, who teaches computer networking has been helping Dillard's campaign with technology issues for the last three weeks. His wife Julie is a lifelong Republican but said she become interested in the campaign because of her husband. "I'm on his coattails," she said.
