The Week In Review with Joel Weisman

On tonight's edition of Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review -- Midterm elections are fast approaching and cliffhangers remain in key races. We recap this week's news in the Governor's race, as Pat Quinn tries to close in on Bill Brady. We recount the heated debate between Senate candidates Mark Kirk and Alexi Giannoulias as polling continues to show them neck-and-neck. We also take a look at key House races, and what early voter turnout indicates about how the races will be decided.
