From Crain's:
As a business publication, we also give great weight to candidates' positions on issues affecting the local business community. Mr. Kirk is the clear choice here.UPDATE October 24: The Moline Argus/Rock Island Dispatch endorsed Kirk this morning.
He supports international trade deals that help Illinois companies tap overseas markets. Mr. Giannoulias would hold up trade deals, such as a pending agreement with South Korea , over issues important to core Democratic constituencies.
Mr. Kirk would extend the Bush tax cuts for all taxpayers, while Mr. Giannoulias would let them expire for top earners.
Mr. Kirk also has been a strong supporter of expanding O'Hare International Airport, since the days when much of the Illinois Republican establishment opposed it. No single project is more important to Chicago 's economic future.

LOL! The Defender probably did when most blacks were actually Republican :P
I'm pretty sure the Defender endorsed Republican Bernard Carey over Ed Hanrahan--who was behind the 1969 Black Panther raids. But that was in 1972.
But yeah, in '05 when the Defender was founded, most blacks were members of the GOP.
