On Principles & Values: Fallout from the April failure of his family's Broadway Bank

President Barack Obama sought to boost the prospects of the man seeking the U.S. Senate seat he once held. Democratic candidate Alexi Giannoulias is "not in it for the special interests, he's in it for your interest," Obama said at the Drake Hotel. "I hope you're fired up. I need it." Obama has placed his political capital and prestige on the line for the seat, in a race that offers a symbolic referendum on the president.

Mark Kirk, the Republican nominee, and Giannoulias have spent much of their campaign debating who is least trustworthy. Giannoulias has dealt with fallout from the April failure of his family's Broadway Bank, while Kirk was forced to apologize for exaggerating his biography.
