Chicago Mob Linked Giannoulias lacking full support of the Illinois congressional delegation

The Hill reports:
Five months after he secured the nomination, Democratic Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias doesn’t have the full support of the Illinois congressional delegation.

According to the Giannoulias campaign, four of the state’s 12 Democratic House members haven’t publicly endorsed the candidate — including Rep. Bobby Rush (D), who backed Giannoulias’s rival in the primary, and Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D), who has made favorable comments about Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), the GOP Senate nominee.
